TRAINING THE TROTTING HORSE. 



No. 68. 



sters in their earlier work. It has a buckskin roll at 

 the top, and I have never known it 

 to chafe a colt. I may say that I 

 am partial to the bell style of quar- 

 ter-boot. 



This boot Xo. 36 is a front ankle- 

 boot, which I first had made for 

 Bonita. It is made of white felt, 



with leather cap, and has a buckskin 

 roll on top for the purpose of holding 

 up a roll. 



This hinge quarter- 

 boot (105) is provided 

 with steel plates and is 

 a splendid boot for a 

 No. 36. hard hitter. The parts 



coming in contact with the foot are ^^^- los- 



of soft, white felt, and though the leather backing is 



stout, and the 

 steel plates make 

 it an invulner- 

 able protection, 

 it does not chafe 

 or hurt the foot. 

 No. Ill is a 

 knee and arm 

 boot designed by 

 me for Gertrude 

 E us sell. She 

 struck there, and 

 ^'o- !"• ' I failed to suc- 



ceed in protecting her with any boot then extant.
