ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Practice and Observation VIII Soon
Enable Man to Determine Amount
Of Trimming Needed.

Regular attention to the feet OF colts
is absolutely necessary in this country.
The hoofs often tend TO grow In alb
normal ways, too long on one side.
tending to twist the fetlock joint. or
too long at the toe. which tends TO
strain the ligaments. and which also
tends to faulty action.
In trimming the hoof all that needs
TO be done can be done with a rasr.
The hoof wall should be rasped OF on
the bottom surface until the relation
OF the heel. side and toe is approx
mately one, two and three In length.
and the work should be done In such
a manner as to cause the foot 10 rest
sQuarely on the ground Practice and
observation will soon enable a man
who has fair judgment TO determine
just what trimming each colt needs
and how often attention will be re-
quired. AS general rule the feet
should be examined every six or eight
weeks.
