and no toe calk. An ankle cutter, on account of the inside 

 of feet being too low, and where I could not cut the outside 

 of foot low enough to compare with the inside, I have got 

 good results by welding a calk along the inside of the hind 

 shoe or shoes between the first and third inside nails to 

 make up the deficiency. A horse that boxes his ankles 

 jogging sluggishly will go good in short toes, with a square 

 toe shoe and heel calks. 



A horse that cuts his ankles should not be checked too 

 high but should go in a natural manner without being made 

 to carry his head too high. The hold-back straps should 

 never be too tight for this hugs their quarters together and 

 that creates interfering. A horse that is a hard puller on 

 the lines, when hitched to a light vehicle has a tendency to 

 box his ankles on account of the hold-back straps hugging 

 his quarters together.
