SPECIFIC AND REMEDIAL SHOEING. 



235 



To prevent paddling, place as wide a web upon the inside 

 branch of shoe as the foot will admit of. The inside branch 

 of the shoe to be beveled from the ground surface on the angle 

 of the foot from toe to heel. The outside branch is to be made as 

 light as possible. Commence to bevel from A to B, to be car- 

 ried to B to a thin edge, as shown in diagram. This shoe has 

 given uniform satisfaction wherever used as I have directed. 



Fig. 125. I use this shoe 

 for knee sprung and sore ten- 

 dons. It can be made of any 

 thickness or width to suit. In- 

 asmuch as elevation gives re- 

 lief to knee sprung and sore 

 tendons, thickness at the heels 

 must be judged of according 

 to the necessities of the case. 

 Select the bar required and 

 bend it around center, shape 

 both sides of toes and quarters,

for knee sprung and sore tendons.

 from ground surface to wall-bearing. 

 B,B, Bevel from inner to outer surface As the bar diminishes in 



of ground-bearing, as shown. ^-^^j^ -^ increases in thickness 



toward the heels. Then commence at inner B, gradually bevel- 

 ing to outer B, extending as far back as shown in diagram Oin 

 both sides of quarters. As the web at the toe shortens on the 

 ground surface, the thickness at the heels gives elevation. 

 The beveling from inner to outer web lessens the ground surface 

 of the shoe. This shoe, when properly made and adjusted, is 

 the best I have ever used for sprung knee and sore tendons.

 quarter crack, split hoof, bruised heels, contracted feet and 

 tender-footedness ; and it has always given the best satisfaction.
