In a well ordered shoeing forge the folio wins? standard rules will always be observed:— 1, A shoe should never be removed withoti first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch m drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left m the foot, endangering the horse when the new shoe comes to be driven on. 2 The frog and bars require no cutting m a regu arly attended foot. And m, a h.galthy foot where there are no symptqms of navioular disorder, the sole should nqt be cutr 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should not be sprung afc the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons The nails should be driven level and uni form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greater weight of the bpdy being siwtained there. There is no comparison point? qf quality between the handmade and the machine made shoe.
