Splay Foot. 



Fi<:. 17 shows the inward and 

 outward sweep of the liorse's 

 foot, known as splay foot. This 

 evil causes horses to hit and 

 bruise the ankles, shins, and 

 knees. Low speed, low cut ; 

 high speed, higli cut. Full in- 

 structions for shoeing splay foot 

 will 1)0 found on i)ages 194 

 (Fig. 79) and 202 (Fig. 83), 

 in "Scientific Horseshoeing," 

 sixth ediliuii. 



Pigeontoe. 



Fis. 18 shows the outward 

 and inward sweep of the horse's 

 foot, known as pigeontoe, just 

 the opposite sweep to the splay 

 foot. In my work upon ' ' Scien- 

 tific Horseshoeing," page 248, 

 Fig. 91, I have given cut of 

 shoe to remedy the above evil. 

 Rarely, if ever, do pigeontoed 

 horses hit their ankles, shins 

 or knees.
