Fig. 13.—Hoof surface of a right hind shoe to prevent interfering. The inner branch has no nail holes and is fitted and beveled under the hoof. Note the number and position of the nail holes, the clip on the outer side-wall, and the narrowness and bend of the inner branch. Fig. 14.—Ground surface of shoe shown in the previous figure. The inner nailless branch has the thickness of the outer branch plus its calk, so that the inner and outer quarters of the hoof are equidistant from the ground.
