Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the following standard rules ■will always be observed :•— < ] 1. A shoe should never be removed withou , first cutting off the clinches, becaus* by 1 eimply 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 j regularly attended foot. And m a healthy , foot where there are no symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, and should not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons 4, The nails should be driven level and uni form, and »»!y on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot bffing thinner upon the inside and the greater weight of the body being sustained there.
