Manicurinq a Horse.

A horses hoof is really the same
thing as the toe or finger nails of hu-
man beings, or of animals having
toes. The hoof grows just as a toe
nail does and more rapidly on unshod
horses than on those wearing shoes.
It's growth is much faster on horses
that are well groomed and well fed,
upon an average of a third of an inch
a month. The hind hoofs grow faster
than the fore hoofs. The toe of the
hoof being the longest part. it takes
longer for It to grown down there than
at the heel. The new hoof grows out
any cracks or defects in the whole.
gradually working down to where
1t can be cut of, just as with human
finger nails.
