In nailing the horn should be spared as much as possible, and never should the sensi- tive tissue be injured. The nails should always pass through the white lines, and thence straight through the wall, neither too high nor too low. If too high, there is danger of pricking, if too low the nail- holes will tear out easily when being clinched.

At each stroke of the hammer the nail should penetrate one-fifth to one-fourth of an inch. Hard driving and light tapping should never be permitted. When at a depth of five-eighths of an inch nails are going soft, bending, giving a dull sound, or causing pain, they should at once be withdrawn. Nails should be driven from five-eighths to an inch and five-eighths high, according to the size of the horse and the hoof.
