lowering the inside heel and leaving the inside toe. 

 will in itself aid in giving the foot and leg a bet- 

 ter direction. These manipulations require deli- 

 cacy and unless such is applied the changes had 

 better be made in the shoe itself after trimming 

 the foot down to a perfect level. 

 (2) Paddling. 

 This is more or less the reverse of knee hitting, 

 being caused by "toeing in" and a consequent out- 

 ward curve of the foot. There is here no such 

 interference with the opposite mate or fore leg, 

 but there is an annoying "speedy cutting" with 

 the hind foot on the same side. In other words, 

 the fore foot either "scalps" that hind foot at the 

 toe or it hits it on the inside all the way from the 

 middle of the cannon bone to the pastern. Pad- 

 dling has its origin in a wrong articulation of the 

 elbow and knee joint. While in knee hitters we 

 often find an elbow joint close to the body, w-e 

 find it rather well separated from the body in 

 paddlers. The toe of paddlers "toes in" in most 

 cases, and the reverse remedy of that applied to 

 knee hitters will generally produce an improve- 

 ment in the outward swing of that disturbing 

 curve. The endeavor here should be to have the 

 breakover on the inside of the toe, to lower inside 

 toe of the hoof and keep inside heel high, to leave 

 outside toe high and lower outside heel. Again, 

 if the shoe is to su])ply the remedy, first get the 

 hoof level, then apply a shoe whose inside is a
