DISEASES OP THE HOKSE. 



Pig. 15. — Side Tiew of a fore hoof shod so as to quicken the " breaking over " (quicken 

 the action) in a " forger." Note the short shoe, heel calks inclined forward, and the 

 rolled toe. 





Fig. 1G. — Side view of a short-toed hind hoof of a forger, shod to slow the action and to 

 prevent in,iury to the fore heels by the toe of the hind shoe. Note the elevation of the 

 short toe by means of a toe calk and the projection of the toe beyond the shoe. When 

 such a hoof has grown more toe, the toe calk can be dispensed with and the shoe set 

 farther forward.
