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 -\vill always be bserved :— 1. A shoe should never be removed without first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning hack 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 regularly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no simp tons of navicular disorder, tue 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 fearf-ul lever upon the tendons The nails should be driven level and imi form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the ioot being thinner upon the inside and the greate * weight of the body being sustained there.
