Continued from last Thursday
The elbow should not have the
slightest inclination inward or out
ward. If it inclines towards the ribs,
the legs will be thrown outward in
their motion, and have an awkward
curve in their movement, and the
toes will likely be turned outward,
which prevents the foot from coming
fiat to the ground Neither should
the elbow be turned inward, for the
toes will come inward, which is UNI
slightly and injurious, the foot not
taking the weight evenly, and c0nse-
quently making it imossible to get
true bearing This sort of leg is like
~ to have bother with corns, splints,
etc The legs should come down per
pendicular from the elbow and stand
square on the gruond If they incline
backward, there is unnecessary
strain on the extensor muscles, and
if they have a forward tendency, the
flexcr muscles are strained and the
gait is awkward
The toe should stand exactly under
the point of the shoulder II the toe
seems to stand forward of this
straight line, the horse will be detic-
lent in action. If ii stands to the
rear of the line, he will travel unsafe
IT, The shoulders should have a
slanting appearance. The straight
shoulder is all right in the heavy
draft horse, but in any other class
they should be oblique and slanting
The arm should be fairly long, full
and swelling; if narrow in front, near
the shoulder. fat-sided and generally
poor in appearance, rest assured he
will not prove satisfactory as an all
round horse.
The knee is a most wonderful Joint
and appeals to our attention. 1t
should be so broad as to be striking
in its width as compared to the arm
above or shank below. The broader
and stronger the knee Joint looks, the
! better. Below the knee should be

knee. AS you run your hand down to
the lower part of the leg there should
/ be seen and felt three distinct pro-
jectons; the sides of the shank bone,
first; the suspensory ligaments, sec
ond the nexor tendon, third If
these are missing and the leg feels
and looks round, there is thickening
in the back tendons which indicates
sprains and strains The pastern
should be long and slanting for a
horse with speed and short and
straight for draft horses. For the all
round horse an intermediate condi-
tion should be looked for. The pas
tern bone should be examined for
ring bone and navicular disease, con
fractions, etc. The hoof should be
round and smooth and elastic. and
free from all dry and shelly cOndi-
tons. The heels should be free from
scratches, Inflammation, etc The
neck should be muscular at the bot
tom, no matter how slim it may be

horse to have good action OF course
in a draft horse this point can be
