Fig. 13. — Hoof surface of a right hind shoe to prevent interfering. The inner branch has 

 no nail holes and is fitted and beveled under the hoof. Note the number and position 

 of the nail holes, the clip on the outer side wall, and the narrowness and bend of the 

 inner branch. 



Fig. 14. — Ground surface of shoe shown in the previous figure. The inner nailless branch 

 has the thickness of the outer branch plus its calk, so that the inner and outer quarters 

 of the hoof are equidistant from the ground.
