THE PRACTICAL HORSESHOER. 



To Shoe a Horse that Crosses one Leg Over the Other. 



To prevent a horse calking himself that has the fault of 

 crossing- one hind leg- with the other, I emplo3^ the plan 

 g^iven below. I would say that three customers of mine 

 each own a horse that had the same fault. I tried different 

 ways to stop it, hut found no wa^^ so g-ood as to shoe them 

 with a shoe on the foot that they crossed the other one with,

similar to Fig^. 123. C is the inside of shoe. Instead of 

 having" a calk at A, as on the other side, I have a calk at 

 B, at the last heel nail hole. The shoe at A should be 

 filed smooth; the calk at B should be the same kind of 

 calk as is commonly put on heels ; have tried the above 

 way of shoeing" the horses referred to for three 3^ears, and 

 they have not calked themselves once. — By Rab of the 

 Wynde.

 fection than any I have seen. 



The clincher complete is shown in Fig-. 124. It consists
