It is usually better to have tlie nail-holes stamped coarse (that is, at some distance fromthe outer margin of the shoe) at points corresponding tothose parts of the hoof where the wall is strongest; and finer, where the horn is thin and its fibres short. They should not, as a rule, incline outward or inward, but be so perforated that the nail-point can take a strong oiweak hold of the wall, according to circumstances. Ifthe hoof be strong, with plenty of wall at its lower mar-gin, then the holes may be stamped coarse, in order totake a short but solid hold of it, by driving the nail ob-liquely outward (as in Fig. 16, a).

The ordinary heavy shoe, on the con-trary, is not only damaging to the foot, because it rests onsuch a narrow basis, but also because its weight and insta-bility necessitate its being attached by a large number oflong thick nails, wliich do great harm to the hoof. With care in fitting a properly constructed shoe, andskill in placing the nails firmly in sound horn, the usualnumber may be considerably reduced; so that instead ofseven to ten being required, it will be found that fromfour to six are equally serviceable, and even these may beof diminished size.
