HOESES CUTTING. 20o 



say guards must be made with reference to the part 

 likely to be injured. 



I have seen but little improvement in boots and 

 cutting guards since I was a boy. I have seen a vast 

 improvement in the breed of horses, in point of for- 

 mation and action, and it is hard if a man under 

 such circumstances cannot select horses that in ordi- 

 nary use require neither boots nor guards to prevent 

 him cutting his legs.
