A good front shoe 

 for a trotter that is 

 kind of wild in his 

 actions and slips and 

 slides in any kind of 

 footing. The front 

 knobs are welded 

 with a set and have 

 the form and shape 

 of a center punch. 

 It is a good shoe for 

 a horse that is com- 

 pelled to start off 

 quick at speed. 



A front trotting shoe 

 to quicken the motion 

 and to add mobility. 

 It was in 1898 when I 

 designed this shoe. I 

 got the idea from 

 seeing Osland L.,work. 

 He had a long stride 

 and the appearance of 

 laboring in front. With 

 this style of shoe * he 

 got a mark of 2:16 that 

 year. He was owned 

 by G. W. Sherwood, of 

 St. Paul. He was sold 

 and went to Russia, as 

 I remember, and was 

 used as a ringer.
