SPECIFIC AND REMEDIAL SHOEING. 



265 



Fis:. 170 is intended for 

 the left front foot, when the 

 pastern leans out. As the 

 left foot passes over the out- 

 side toe it takes an inward 

 sweep, thus hitting and 

 bruising the opposite leg. 

 The projection of the toe 

 calkin, A, beyond the outer 

 edge of the shoe, must suit 

 tlie case in hand. I have 

 known of a toe calkin in 

 such instance to project at 

 least an inch. The outside 

 heel calkin, set as at C, will 

 materially support the out- 

 side pastern.

The use of this shoe 

 will be found of practical 

 benefit when outside quar- 

 ters are wired under and 

 badly contracted. Such 

 defects cause the quarters 

 to wear excessively on 

 the outside. The outside 

 heel calkin and the inside 

 heel calkin should be set 

 as at A and D, respect- 

 iveh', thus increasing the 

 full o;round tread, while 

 lessening the inside. Bev- 

 eling around the toe, B,
