296 THE PRACTICE OF SHOEING. 



FULLEEEU SEATED FEATHEE-EDGED FORE SHOE. 

 FOE HAENESS OE EIDING HOESE (Fig. 292). 



Made from -|- X -J- inch iron. 



Where [i horse cuts close to the inside toe and has a 

 tendency to cast his shoes, the use of this shoe is indicated. 

 Two nails inside give greater security than one, and the clip 

 provided at the outside quarter prevents the shoe being driven 

 in, across the foot, as is apt to occur with horses which go 

 much on the outside.- The quarter clip also prevents the 

 farrier placing the shoe ' across the foot ' in nailing-on. 



All shoes of this class should be lightly chamfered or 

 bevelled along the outer, lower border of the inside limb. 



It will be noted that the shoe has two clips, one at the toe 

 and one at the outer quarter.

(Fig. 293). 



Made from 1-|- X ^ inch. 



On account of its being so frequently employed, it has been 

 thought desirable to figure this shoe, but its use cannot be 

 recommended. The inside quarter and heel are drawn down 

 almost to vanishing point. The foot surface is narrow, and the 

 shoe soon becomes embedded in the foot, bruising the sensitive 

 structures and producing corns.
