SOUND AND UNSOUND HORSES 



It is quite possible for a horse to be 

 " apparently " free from sandcrack at 

 the time of examination, yet on the 

 following day, or in less time, to present 

 the beginning of one. No blame could 

 be laid to the examiner under these cir- 

 cumstances, as it is more than probable 

 that some sandcracks start from within 

 the hoof, extending through it to 

 without. 



False Quarter. — Predisposes to 

 sandcrack. Reject. 



Keratoma. — Arises from within and 

 at the toe. Not diagnosable until a 

 bulging at the latter. 



Rings of Laminitis. 

 Malformations of the Wal!. 

 Seedy Toe. 



Canker extending to Wall. 

 Contraction of the Hoof. 



For all of those reject.
