76 EXAMINATION OF HORSES 



Unlike brushing, it has Uttle tendency to throw him 

 down. 



The last division of our classification is the greatest 

 numerically, but is hardly the most important, because 

 actual disease in the foot is as a rule not only soon detected 

 but the subject of it is rarely brought for examination as 

 to soundness. Some of these are so obvious to all con- 

 cerned that we can erase them at once. These are — 

 T. Canker. 



2. Carbuncle of Coronary Band. 



3. Disease of the Pyr. Process of Pedal Bone. 



4. False Quarter. 



5. Quittor. 



6. ViUitis. 



Others, though obvious, require some little comment. 

 These are three, namely, 



1. Grease. 



2. Ringbone. 



3. Sidebones. 



The remainder are, or may be, obscure. For this reason, 

 as well as for their great importance, we must dwell 

 upon them more at large. 

 These are : — 



1. Corns. 



2. Laminitis, Subacute and Chronic. 



3. Navicular Disease. 



4. Sandcrack. 



5. Seedy-toe. 



6. Thrush.
