a given point, instead of producing an increased 

 degree of cutting, in most instances it remedies 

 the defect altogether. The reason of this is just 

 the reverse of what takes place when the inner 

 quarter is raised; that is to say, when the weight 

 of the fore part of the body rests only upon one 

 leg, it bears too much upon the inner quarter, 

 from its being lower than the outer quarter ; and 

 thus the horse has a tendency to fall over to the 

 inside of the supporting leg. 



To prevent this, the moving foot is thrown 

 farther from the supporting leg, in order to 

 maintain the balance ; and thus the foot misses 

 the fetlock joint.
