HORSES: THEIR POINTS AND MANAGEMENT 



SPEEDY CUT. 



This injiirN' {)redisposes thi- horse to fall. It is caused bv 

 the shoe of the o}:)posite foot striking the leg at the lower and 

 inner side of the knee. Keep the foot narrow on the inner side 

 and toe, or juit on a three-quarter shoe. Anti-speedy cutting 

 gaiters are sometimes used. 



TREADS ON CORONET AND HEEL. 



By treading upon the coronet {i.e., the band encircling the 

 hoof) with the opposite foot, a most serious injury is a frequent 

 result. High fever, sloughing, and quittor may thus arise, 

 whilst false quarter is not an unknown legacy. We recommend 

 the reader to have professional advice at once under these 

 cuxumstances.
