2. _Shoe for an Acute-Angled Hoof._—Outer edge: strongly base-narrow around the toe, but gradually becoming perpendicular towards the ends of the branches. Punching: regular, except that the nail-holes at the toe must incline inward somewhat more than usual. Length: rather longer than the preceding shoe (see Fig. 123). 3. _Shoe for an Upright_ (stumpy) _Hoof_.—Outer edge: perpendicular at the toe; but if the hoof is very steep, then base-wide at the toe,—_i.e._, bevelled downward and outward. Punching: last nail should be placed just beyond the middle of the shoe. Direction of the holes: perpendicular. Length: short; at most, one-eighth of an inch longer than the hoof. In the case of a “bear-foot” (see Fig. 70) the shoe should be long. 4. _Shoe for a Base-Wide Hoof._—Outer edge; the outer branch should be moderately base-narrow,—_i.e._, bevelled downward and inward, the inner branch perpendicular. Punching: upon the outer branch the holes should extend well back, while upon the inner branch they are to be crowded forward towards the toe (see Fig. 117). Length will depend upon the obliquity of the hoof as seen in profile (see 1, 2, and 3). 5. _Shoe for a Base-Narrow Hoof._—Outer edge: the outer branch either perpendicular or base-wide, the inner branch strongly base-narrow. Punching: the nail-holes in the outer branch should be crowded towards the toe and, under certain conditions, punched deeper than the wall is thick, on account of the greater width of this branch; in the inner branch the nail-holes are to be distributed back to the quarter and punched light (see Fig. 118). Length will depend upon the obliquity of the hoof. The outer branch should be about one-fourth of an inch longer than the inner. [Illustration: FIG. 117. A right front shoe for a base-wide (toe-wide) hoof. The inner branch should be about one-fourth of an inch longer than the outer.] [Illustration: FIG. 118. A right front shoe for a base-narrow (toe-narrow) hoof. The outer branch is wider and one-fourth of an inch longer than the inner.] 6. _Shoe for a Wide Hoof._—Somewhat wider webbed (more covered) than usual. Outer edge: bevelled under the foot all around (base-narrow). Punching: nail-holes carried back into the posterior half of the shoe (see Fig. 119). Length will depend upon the obliquity of the hoof. 7. _Shoe for a Narrow Hoof._—Outer edge: moderately bevelled under the foot at the toe (base-narrow), elsewhere perpendicular. Distribution of the nail-holes: regular. Direction of the nail-holes: perpendicular and towards the quarters, inclining somewhat outward. The holes about the toe incline somewhat inward. Length will depend upon the obliquity of the hoof. Concaving unnecessary (see Fig. 120). [Illustration: FIG. 119. Flat shoe for a round hoof (right front).] [Illustration: FIG. 120. A left front shoe for a narrow hoof. The concaving is unnecessary.]
