Por un clavo se pierde una herradura, por una .herradura un Cavallo, por un Cavallo un 

 Cavallero. — Old Spanish Proverb. 



A little neglect may breed great mischief. For want of a nail the shoe was lost ; for want of a 

 shoe the horse was lost ; and for want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by 

 the enemy ; all for want of a little care about a horse-shoe nail. — Benjamin Franklin. 



A proper mode of shoeing is certainly of more importance than the treatment of any disease, or 

 perhaps of all the diseases incident to horses. The foot is a part that we are particularly required 

 to preserve in health; and if this art be judiciously employed, the foot will not be more liable to 

 disease than any other organ. — Professor E. Colcmaft.
