Synopsis
Excerpt from Structure of the Horse's Foot: And the Principles of Shoeing
The term anatomy implies the act of cutting an organ in such a manner as to expose to view portions which cannot be seen on the surface, and the workman will understand that such a view of the interior is of great advantage when it becomes necessary to interfere~ in any manner with the structures of which the organ is composed. A concise account of the structures of the foot of the horse will form, therefore, a fitting introduction to the subject of the principles and practice of shoeing.
Most persons, when thinking or speaking of the foot of the horse, have in their minds the idea of their own foot as an organ by the aid of which they stand, or walk, or run. But the first step in the inquiry must be to show that the horse does not, as the man does, put all the parts forming the foot on the ground at all, but only a small portion of it and that the organ which is always called the foot of the horse is really, when compared with the human foot, the point of the toe. A few drawings will make this clear.
