However, when possible, it is much 

 better to give the horse a rest, and get the 

 sore or bruise thoroughly well before 

 working again, taking care to try and 

 prevent a repetition of the injury. 



Speedy Cutting. 



This consists of an injury at the lower 

 and inner side of the knee, the part being- 

 struck with the inner edge of the shoe 

 of the opposite foot. 



It is a dangerous practice, predisposing 

 the horse to fall through pain inflicted 

 when the sore part is again struck. 



Defective conformation, and high action 

 predispose to speedy-cut. Keep the shoe 

 very narrow on Its inner side, and leave 

 out all nails excepting one at the toe on 

 this edge. 



A oaiter can also be worn.
