 angle, as in Fig. 158. 



Let us follow the shoeings of this gelding in their various appli- 

 cations. Three weeks later we have the shoeing of Fig. 160. Leav- 

 ing off the extra weight from near fore and increasing the angle, as 

 well as swelling the heel of that shoe, did not improve or rather check

its extension, but did increase it. The off hind also shows increased 

 extension due no doubt to a lower angle (54-53). In this case the 

 round toe of near fore has the advantage over the square toe of off 

 fore, and the extension of same is also increased by the difference in 

 the roll of shoe, the near fore having a quicker or forward roll from 

 heel to toe, while the off fore has an equally divided roll from middle to
