294 THE PKACTICE OF SHOEING. 



PAr.TIALLY FEATHER-EDGED FULLEEED 

 HIND SHOE (Fig. 288). 



Made from f X -J inch iron. 



For harness or riding horses which have not much horn at 

 the toe, or which cut towards the back of the inside heel of 

 shoe and require to be clipped on either side of the toe, this 

 shoe has been designed. 



Two nail holes are placed in a short length of fullering close 

 to the inside toe. The calkin on the outside heel gives a 

 certain amount of hold on slippery ground. The foot surface 

 of the inside limb is considerably greater than in the ordinary 

 feather-edged shoe, and the shoe is therefore less likely to sink 

 into the foot. 



PARTIALLY-FULLERED FEATHER-EDGED 

 HIND SHOE (Fig. 289). 



Made from ;| X -^ inch iron. 



This shoe is intended for harness or riding horses which cut 

 badly at the inside toe. There are two clips, one at the outside 

 toe and another at the inside heel. This disposition allows the 

 inside toe to be fitted very fine. The inside clip is drawn on 

 the corner of the anvil and from the inside of the shoe, so that 

 no clip hole appears on the part of shoe opposite the injured 

 limb ; this part of the shoe, on the contrary, presenting a per- 

 fectly plane surface. The shoe is, in fact, not of sufficient 

 substance at this point to allow^ of a clip being drawn in the 

 ordinary way. 



The above method of drawing a clip is worthy of special 

 notice, as such inside clips are often very useful when the horse 

 breaks the inside nail of his hind shoes or drives the shoe 

 outwards.
