of the roll will come close together. This roll strikes the opposite 

 foot, and will cause the horse to place his foot in a different position 

 when he steps. In case " interfering pads," if used at any time, 

 should rub the legs of the horse and make them sore, the following 

 mode of shoeing will in most cases obviate the difficulty. For the 

 hind feet have the shoes made considerably lighter on the outside 

 than on the inside. Pare the feet slightly lower on the outside, 

 leaving them the higher on the inside bar and quarter. Set the 

 inside quarter of the shoes a trifle inside of the walls of the feet. 

 Make the forward shoes light, with both bars of the shoe equal in 

 weight and thickness. Pare the forward feet in the same way as 

 above described for the hind feet, and fit the forward shoes close. 

 If it is possible to stop the interfering by means of shoeing, the 

 way herein described will be found efficacious.
