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 bserv ed :— 1. A shoe should never be removed without first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch in drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left in the foot, endangering the horse when the new shoe comes to be driven on. " 2. The frog and bars require no cutting iv a regularly attended foot, 4-nd ip a healthy foot where there are »o sjtnptQns of navicular disorder, tt(e 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 ' The nails should Ijc dpiypn level and nni form, and only'on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greate * weight of the body being guatained'there.
