BAK SHOKS. 325 



FULLERED BAR HIND SHOE (SEATED 

 AROUND TOE) (Figs. 315, 316). 



Made from J X -f iron. 



This is a special shoe for harness or riding horses with 

 * dropped sole ' in a hind foot ; it can also be used for the 

 treatment of ' seedy-toe,' as the diseased parts can be dressed 

 through the seating without the shoe being removed. 



Clips are drawn on either side of the toe, because in many 

 cases there is not sufficient horn at the toe to permit of their 

 being placed there, and also because clips in this position allow 

 the shoe to be placed further back if required. 



The shoe is shghtly cradled, i.e., it is thinner at the toe and 

 heel than at the quarter, a formation which enables the animal 

 to place more weight on the back of the foot, thereby relieving 

 the toe. In many cases this is a very important consideration. 



The toe of the shoe is widened as well as seated-out, so as to 

 give ample ' cover ' to the injured or diseased parts.
