with leather.

Represents the outside of a horse’s leg, with the apparatus fixed. 
A, One of the supporters of the leg, extending from the ground surface of the 
foot to within a little of the hock, made of stoutish iron, curved and adapted to suit 
the convexity of the fetlock -joint ; its upper portion, B, being rounded and turned 
downwards to prevent abrasion, and to form a loop to receive and keep a leathern 
strap in its place; its lower having a screwed end, which is passed through a hole 
in the projecting portion, C, at the side of the shoe, and firmly fixed by means of a 
nut, D. 
E, A plate of iron, rivetted on the supporter, having a convexity on its external 
and a concavity on its internal surface, to receive the joint. 
F, A leathern strap, with buckle attached, to be fastened round the leg.
