A shoe should never be removed, without 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 regularly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where t there are no simptons of ha'vicular disorder, tqe 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 be driven level and uni i form, and only on the toe side of the inside j quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greater weight of the body being suatairedthere.
