/ like in form. Notations TO TIL, effect
were made by such ancient writers as
| Xenophon, who recommends leather
! soles and shoes for baggage horses,
and Aristotle, who mentions a kind
! Of sock bound on the feet Of Camcls
| used in war. These were probably
| followed by the so called hippoSandaiS.
| which varied in form. hut usually
consisted of an oval metal plate pro-
| longed backward on either side and
| sometimes carrying a curved hook. In
! front and lat8rally are wings pro-
| vided with eyes and rings. Straps

now found is thought to have been
used some time before the Roman sub

shoes were made and it is probable
that the art was practiCed at more
than one center, the Gauls generally
being credited as the first to practice
the art of horseshoeing. At that time
a very light. slender shoe was fas-
tened without the use of clips and
| the hoof was not pared. It is be-
| lieved that the Druids made and fas.
tened on the shoes for Gallo warriors.
