Fig. 15.— Side view of a fore hoof shod so as to quicken the "breaking over" (quicken the action) 

 in a " forger." Note the short shoe, heel calks inclined forward, and the rolled toe. 



Fig. 16.— Side view of a short-toed hind hoof of a forger, shod to slow the action and to prevent 

 injury to the fore heels by the toe of the hind shoe. Note the elevation of the short toe by means 

 of a toe calk and the projection of the toe beyond the shoe. When such a hoof has grown more 

 toe the toe calk can be dispensed with and the shoe set farther forward.
