 its own gait, 90; notes on make- 

 up of, 92; developed by ideals, 

 116; complex locomotion of, 118; 

 intelligence and service of, 305; 

 accused of cowardice, 312. 



IDEALS Of gait, 26; not merely ideas, 

 90.

INTERFERENCE Hind with fore in trot, 

 ii ; in pace, 13; cross-firing, 14; 

 prevented, 23; with crossing over 

 of fore, 67; when impossible, 68; 

 at turns, 126-127; due to hind ex- 

 tension, 144; reduced by angles, 

 183; due to flexion and action, 

 203; due to length of toes, 246- 

 247. 



INTERRELATION Of legs, 51; absence 

 of, 67; not understood, 121 ; af- 

 fecting extension, 133; with action 

 and extension, 144; affecting bal- 

 ance, 206; affecting one leg, 231; 

 contrary effect of, 214. 



INVESTIGATION Its value, 5; on even 

 ground, 12; aim and application, 

 44; table for, 92; must be free, 



118; saves time and money, 161; 

 applies to all cases, 240; better 

 than forcing balance, 255; applic- 

 able to pacers, 260; leads to cor- 

 rections, 277.

 gait, 6; causes of, 41; found by 

 camera, 46.

KNEE Directions, 98, 100; action due 

 to shoe, 165; knee and hock flex- 

 ion compared, 167, 173; average

 action, 35-36; effect of weight, 141; 

 on an incline, 289. 



KNEE HITTING Effect of toe-weight, 

 154; due to vicious curves, 176-

 shoe as a remedy, 253 ; and exten- 

 sion, 255. 



LATERAL BALANCE Indicated by med- 

 ian line, 62, 65 ; of hoof, 97 ; fixed 

 by axis of foot, 101 ; deficient,

 67; table for pace, 82; due to atti- 

 tudes, 100; around turns, 129;
