This style of shoe will give 

 the horse the utmost confi- 

 dence in his foothold. 



Fig. 212. To Buace v\' Weak Ankles. I invented 



this style of front shoe to 

 brace up the weak ankles 

 of some horses. The upper 

 and lower pasterns are in-

 AA, inner rim on shoe. By 

 placing the rim on the shoe 

 to the inside of the foot 

 will help to brace up and 

 strengthen the upper and 

 lower pasterns. The height 

 of the rim must be made to 

 suit the case in hand. If 

 the foot and j)asterns stand 



up plumb under the leg, we will seldom meet with ankle, 



shin and knee hitting.
