Fig. 68. 



Right fore-hoof of the base-wide position. 



Eight fore-hoof of the toe-wide position. 



wall is but little more oblique than the outer, the difference 

 being most noticeable at the quarters (Figs. 57 and 68). The 



curve of the plantar border 

 of the wall is similar to that 

 of a regular hoof, except 

 that the inner side wall and 

 quarter are a little more 

 sharply curved in a base- 

 narrow hoof. Occasionally 

 the outer quarter is some- 

 what drawn in under the 

 foot. 



This form of hoof is most 

 distinctly marked in animals 

 that stand toe narrow or are 

 bandy-legged. 



As to the forms of the hind 

 hoofs, what has been said 

 concerning the influence of 

 position of the limbs upon the shape of the front feet will apply 

 equally well to them. The hind hoof (Fig. 69) is not round at 



Eight hind hoof of the regular position.
