SPECIFIC AND REMEDIAL SHOEING. 



265 



Ficr. 170 is intended for 

 tlie left front foot, when the 

 pastern leans out. As the 

 left foot passes over the out- 

 side toe it takes an inward

 the 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.

 defects cause the quarters 

 to wear excessively on

 heel calkin and the inside 

 heel calkin should be set 

 as at A and D, respect- 

 ively, thus increasing the 

 full o-round tread, while 

 lessening the inside. Bev-

 sities of the case in hand,
