T02 The CompkatHorfeman : or, 



plained in the next Chapter, {See Plate 3. Fig. 11.) 

 and the Heels very far from ftraitning, will infal- 

 libly open and enlarge. 



For thofe Horfes which are Hoof-bound, after that 

 you have pared their Feet, and left the Sole extraor- 

 dinarily ftrong at the Heels, you muft have Ponton- 

 Jhoes, confer m'd to the Shape of Fig. 10. Plate 3. 



I have called this Shoe the Panton or Pantable* 

 Jim, to diftinguifh it from thofe of any other fa- 

 shion or fhape. 



Now to forge a Pamon-flwe, you muft make the 



inner edge of the Spunge B, A, E, C, D, F, a great 



deal thicker than the outer edge IE, LF, fo that 



betwixt A G, and D H, there may be two or three 



times the thicknefs that there is betwixt I E, and 



L F, as you may perceive by the thicknefs of the 



Spunge AB, CD, fo that the Shoe rifesby degrees 



from G to A, and flopeth equally from A to E, the 



whole length AG, EI •, and fo you will find that 



the inner edge of the Spunge is a great deal thicker 



than the outer, for the thicknefs within marked A B f ' 



is three times thicker than E \ it is the infide of the 



Shoe, and that which toucheth the Sole which you 



fee in the Figure • but there muft be great care 



taken that the forefaid thicknefs A B, C D, of the 



Spunge, diminifh always towards G H, as you may 



perceive in the Figure, and all the reft of the Shoe 



from I L, G H, round the Toe of the Shoe, be quite 



flat as other Shoes are, to the end that the Horfe's 



Foot may reft upon it at eafe : That which is repre- 



fented to you by the Figure, is but the infide of the 



Shoe next the Horfe's Foot, and the Spunges fhould 



beftrait, or pretty near the other, that they may 



reft upon the infide of the corners oftheFrufh, and 



all theoutfide of the Shoe, which is next theGround, 



ruuft be quite fiat like to another Shoe, and then you 



ihall have a right Panton-fio: for your Horfe. See
