Horseshoe Anatomy and Nail Placement Diagram - Farrier Reference Guide #2065997 (License: Personal Use)

This vintage-style engineering illustration depicts a U-shaped horseshoe with four nail heads (labeled 1) seated in raised blocks, nail channels (2) running along the inner rim, and the main shoe body (3). A detailed inset shows a cross-sectional view of a nail driven through the hoof wall, illustrating correct angle and depth to avoid sensitive tissue. The shading and labeling follow classic patent-drawing conventions for clarity and precision.

Used in veterinary, farrier training, or equine anatomy resources to teach proper shoeing technique; matches user intent for educational diagrams, historical patents, or DIY hoof care guides.
