I"io. 35. — Side view of a fore hoof shod so as to quicken the " bi'oalilng over" (quicken 

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

 rolled toe. 



Fig. 16. — Side view of a short-toed hind hoof of a forger, shod to slow the action and to 

 prevent Injur.v 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 foe calk can be dispensed with and the shoe set 

 farther forward.
