Print on Demand. This book explores the author's theory that conventional horse-shoeing practices damage horses' feet and legs. The author presents evidence from his own experiments and observations, as well as from the work of other experts in the field. He argues that traditional horseshoes prevent the foot from expanding and contracting naturally, which leads to a variety of problems, including lameness, corns, and quarter cracks. The author proposes an alternative method of shoeing that he believes is more natural and less harmful to the horse's foot. He provides detailed instructions on how to apply this method, and he discusses the benefits that he has seen from using it. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in the welfare of horses and wants to learn more about alternative shoeing methods. The author's insights on the importance of natural foot function have helped to advance the field of equine podiatry and improve the lives of countless horses. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

I was led to this belief from the trouble there was in getting the tips made properly, and then a ten times more arduous task was to get them correctly put ou. In my first experiments I made patterns of wood, and had them cast by a brass-founder and had there been an opportunity of getting some better metal cast in the moulds, such as steel or even malleable iron,' I should have adhered to the plan, but the brass wore away so rapidly that I had to change, and I was fortunate in finding a blacksmith who would forge them very nearly in accordance with the patterns furnished. Latterly I have met a blacksmith who is as enthusiastic in his advocacy of the use of tips as I am, who has put them on all kinds of horses, including those used for heavy draft, and with satisfactory results in all cases. This is Paul Friedhoffer, but as his shops are in San Francisco, the only relief to me was in being enabled to get the tips made as I wanted them, the setting having to be done by myself, as the trouble of sending horses from Oakland offset the labor. And by the way, it is doubtful if I could have continued the seven years' war, if un able to prepare the foot and nail the tips on myself. In that case I would have been compelled to superintend the job from the start to the finish, and this would have entailed the loss of more time. By doing it myself I was also enabled to see the exact state of the foot, and make changes that were found beneficial. Though the practice has made me more expert in the use of knife, rasp and file, and given me an aptitude to drive a nail where I want it to go, it is a hot job, and one that leaves a soreness of muscle which is not pleasant. Sus tained, however, by the implicit faith that I was working in a good cause, that the ultimate result would bring amelioration to the ani mals I have been so intimately connected with for more than a quarter of a century, I have never fiinched from the self-imposed task, and for the last three or four years have never lost confidence. I have listened patiently to the arguments offered by the opponents of tips, watched closely for defects in the system which the reasoning on the other side was to disclose, and which at first I thought might over turn my previous conclusions but every succeeding year has added strength to my convictions, and given me renewed courage to adhere. Many years ago I had to select a motto to go on the records of asociety, and the one chosen was Haud fast. I have held tena ciously to the belief in the efficacy of thoroughbred blood in the trot ter for fully twenty-five years, and now the grandaughter of a thoroughbred mare occupies the highest place in the record with others of the same degree of consanguinity to the royal blood close up in the calendar.
