PARING To line of safety, 88; more 

 important than shoe, 90; to count- 

 eract growth, 94; to white line, 

 95; when shoeing, 104; causes bal- 

 ance, 104-105; shoeing secondary 

 to, 105, 259; directs lateral ex- 

 tension, 183-184; directing feet by, 

 234 ; a delicate operation, 241, 243 ; 

 exactness wanted, 244. 



PASTERN Angle of foot determined 

 by, 247. 



PENDULUM SWING Of legs, 9; equal- 

 ity disturbed, 123; due to good 

 hock action, 169; illustrated, 264- 

 265 ; indicated by variations, 229. 



PLANES OF MOTION Of feet and cen- 

 ter of gravity, 61 ; of axes of legs, 

 97; of hoof, 106. . 



POINTING Cause of, 6; in" analysis of 

 gait, 18; determined by attitudes, 

 21, 22; in and out, 66; invariable 

 rule of, 80, 295; caused by high 

 quarters, 87; value of theory, 88; 

 unequal between opposite legs, 107 ;

 extension, 125; by bars, 137; by 

 longer toe, 179; by long toe and 

 low angle, 225 ; by paring, 234. 



POLES Judicious use of, 149: no pla'ce 

 in races, 165; balance effected 

 without, 183.

 101 ; directions of, 102; difficult to 

 balance, 243. 



RACING The bane of continuous, 309. 



RECORD (of gait) On ground, 12; 

 must be kept, 44; necessity of writ- 

 ten, 89; of observations, 92; busi- 

 nesslike, 302. 



REMEDIES (for defects) Should be 

 gradual, 108; permanent and tem- 

 porary, 120; of no quick effect, 

 138; limitations of, 183; for 

 knuckling, 191 ; for knee hitting, 



177; temporary, 206; not always 

 perfect 304. 



RIG (or harness) Desirable simpli- 

 city of, 114; when objectionable, 

 165. 



ROBERGE, DAVID His theory of "point- 

 ing," 18; on shape of hoof, 45; 

 pointing at speed, 53, 76; invari- 

 able rule of pointing, 80; on high 

 quarters of hoof, 87; theory and 

 practice, 88; on extension, 97; on 

 perfect balance, 103; on shape of 

 hoof and shoe, 109; some dis- 

 crepancies in experiments, 118; on 

 shoeing as a science and an art, 

 244; on balance, 245. 



ROCKING MOTION Of flesh-footed ani- 

 mals the basis of, in; principles 

 of the shoe, 112-113; the Memphis 

 shoe, 114; for strains, 207; for 

 action, 209; with eased heels be- 

 hind, 252; and hock action, 287. 



ROUGH GAIT Causes of, 59; due to 

 shorter leg, 120; regulated, 139; 

 not removed by speed, 172. 



RULES (N. T. A.) Lax interpreta- 

 tion of, 311. 



RUSSELL, WILLIAM Book on shoeing, 

 45- 



RHYTHM (of gait) Regularity want- 

 ed, 20; disturbed, 227, 236; as an 

 aid to balance, 266.

 design, 105; shape of, 108; con- 

 tact with ground, 108; slipping of, 

 109; shape important, 109, 171; 

 best when light, 109; gait steadied 

 by heavy, no; four on ground, 

 no; with ground surface up, in; 

 rolling motion, 111-113, 253; Mem-
