Por un clavo te pierde una herradura, por una herradura un Cavallo, por un Cavallo un Cavallero.— Old Spanish Proverb.
A little neglect may breed great mischief. For want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy; all for want of a little care about a horse-shoe nail.— Benjamin Franklin.
A proper mode of shoeing is certainly of more importance than the treatment of any disease, or perhaps of all the diseases incident to horses. The foot is a part that we are particularly required to preserve in health; and if this art be judiciously employed, the foot will not be more liable to disease than any other.—Professor E. Coleman.
