THE HflLLHHflH VULGINIZED HDHBEB HOBSEGHOE PBD. 
A Mechanical Production Combining a Rubber Pad with 
Canvas Firmly Secured to a Sole=leather Back. 
By this means securing for the horse an even distribution of the 
weight over the entire solar surface of the foot. 
It does away with the necessity of heel and toe calkings. 
It permits the use of a lighter shoe with narrower web, and thus 
enables the shoer to maintain closer adjustment of the shoe to the crust 
of the foot, while the pad, made of rubber, lessens the concussion and 
jar, and at the same time divides the force and weight over the entire 
ground surface. 
A full shoe is allowed by its use, and the objection of too much direct 
heel pressure avoided. 
It does away with the need of sharpening in winter weather and gives 
confidence to the horse on icy pavements. Where asphalted streets exist 
it is a safeguard from slipping and the severe strain from concussion. 
For weak, contracted, or low-heeled feet they, while aiding the re¬ 
moval of these defects, enable constant use of the animal. 
These pads will last from two to three months. They have met with 
the approval of many of the most prominent veterinarians, horsemen, and 
horse owners in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and wherever placed 
before the public.
