A Few Points. 



Never pack your horse's feet. 



Never allow a blacksmith to sand-paper your horse's hoof. 



Never allow oils of any kind to be placed on the outside of a horse's 

 hoof, as it closes the pores. In order to keep a horse's foot in good 

 order, and free from disease, take a pail full of salt water and wash 

 his legs, from his knees down, three times a week. 



Where your horse's foot is contracted, or the frog has become hard 

 and dry, use poultice.
