Fig. 207. Front Foot Shoe, to Quicken the Action 

 IN Front. Some speed horses are inclined to be stiff-kneed 

 in front, and reach too far and do not gather quick enough. 

 By placing the toe onto tlie 

 inner web of the shoe, as 

 shown at letter B, the toe on 

 the shoe to be beveled on the 

 outside to the inside — left 

 square on the inside edge of 

 shoe, to be beveled in front as 

 shown at letter A — will allow 

 the foot to break over the toe 

 more quickly ; the toe being 

 set back to the inner web of 

 the shoe will allow the foot to 

 break over the toe more rap- 

 idly, and just in proportion to the toe being set back on the 

 shoe Avill shorten and quicken the stride, and will give more 

 graceful knee action. Letters CC, side heel calkings, to be of 

 same height as front toe calking. Letter D, bar in shoe. 

 If the shoe is made according to the instructions given, it 

 cannot fail to do all that is claimed for it.
