7. The pattern of shoe is immaterial so long as it has a 

 true and level bearing, and rests well and firmly on the wall 

 and bars. I believe the simpler the shoe the better, viz., one 

 plain on both ground and foot surface, to be secured with 

 no more nails than necessary, as the nails destroy the horn, 

 and these are not to be driven higher than needful, for high 

 nailing is ruinous to feet. 



Such, briefly, are the conditions which fulfil physiological 

 shoeing.
