if you (hoe your Horfe with a Half-F 'ant on-fkoe, it will 

 make his Heel become very large and well-fhaped, 

 which is eafier done than to force the Quarters, by 

 making ufe of the Plate of Iron above-mentioned, 

 altho' that method be alfo very good. 



CHAP. XXVI. 



How Horfes which have Clifts in their Quar- 

 ters, commonly called Falfe- Quarters^ are to he 

 fl)oe*d. 



FOR Horfes which have cloven or Falfe-Quar- 

 ters, you mull make a Shoe after the fafhion 

 which I call the HalfPanton-fhoe, the ufe of it being 

 good, I therefore thought fit to propofe it to you ; 

 this method of Ihoeing may alfo ferve for Horfes 

 whofe Hoofs begin to clofe and ftraiten at the Heels, 

 for it cometh near to the figure of the Panton-fioe,be- 

 caufe the Branch is turned upwards, which maketh 

 the fame dope that the Pant on- fine doth \ but the fide 

 of the Shoe next to the Ground is not the fame, 

 becaufe there is but one edge of the Spunge, to 

 wit, the utmoft edge, which toucheth the Ground % 

 whereas the under- fide of the Panton-fme is quite 

 flat : Thefe kind of Half- Pant on- fro es do not force 

 out the Heels fo fuddenly as the whole Panton-flnes^ 

 and therefore are good to be made ufe of at firft 5 to 

 make the Heel fpread. 



The Shoe EF, GH, which is reprefented in the 

 nth Fig. of Plate 3, is a Half- Pant on- fine, which is to 

 be put upon a Horfe which hath one or more Falfe- 

 Quarters, and which confequently hath narrow 

 Heels ; you muft then make, efpecialiy the whole 

 Branches, and alfo the Spunges FB,DH, ftronger 

 than ordinary, afterwards turn them up fo that AB,
