horseshoeing greatly depends upon good judgment of tlie 

 farrier — that is, tlie shoer. 



Fig. 205. Shoe to Prevent Paddling. I designed this 

 style of shoe to prevent pad- a_ 



dling. Letter A, toe; letter 

 B, inside rim ; letter C, out- 

 side rim ; letter D, bar. I 

 have had great success in 

 preventing horses that were 

 chronic paddlers and could 

 not be stopped paddling. 

 All speed horses that paddle 

 out as the foot leaves the 

 ground are more or less li- 

 able to speedily cut their 

 hind pasterns, shins and 

 inside hocks. Letter C, 

 outside rim of the shoe — the rim on the shoe being placed on 

 the inner edge of the shoe, shortens the outside ground tread ; 

 the rim being placed at letter B, on the inside rim of the 

 shoe, lengthens the inside of ground tread ; the inner rim 

 being beveled from the inside up to a sharp edge, will give 

 more ground tread to the inside of the shoe ; the outside at 

 letter C, being beveled from the outside of the rim to a sharp 

 edge, will shorten the grdund tread on the outside. When 

 shoeing to prevent paddling, always shoe full to the inside 

 toe and quarters. If this shoe is made and the foot properly 

 pared, and the shoe fitted and nailed on according to instruc- 

 tions given, it cannot fail to stop the worst paddling horse 

 in the land from paddling with his front feet.
