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, because by simply turning back tije clinch in drawing the nail a piece of the clinch in 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 in a regu arly attended foot. And in a healthy foot where there are no symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not be cut. ' : '"' :,;.,'■ 3.
