WHY HORSES WEAR
SHOES ~ IT'S ALL RIDING
ON THE HOOF
With good reason, almost
all horses in America today
make regular trips to the
blacksmith for shoeing.
Horses need shoes to protect
their feet from excessive
wear on hard surfaces, and to
help cope with the strain of
rider’s weight.
Horses feel no pain from a
properly fitted shoe, which is
nailed to the insensitive outer
shell of the hoof called the
wall. The wall surrounds the
sole and frog masses of
tender, elastic tissue that
cushion the horse’s leg and
absorb the shock of hitting
the ground.
A hoof wall grows as much
as half an inch a month and
should be trimmed regularly
so that the horse is able to
stand squarely. If the wall of
the hoof is permitted to grow
too long, it may break and
chip, altering the angle of the
leg in relationship to the
ground, putting stress on leg
muscles and tendons.
Properly fitted horseshoes
can relieve pain from such
common leg injuries as
cracked hooves and pulled
tendons. In addition, they can
be used to compensate for
faults in the horse’s motion
or gait.
Shoes also are used to
influence the length of a
horse’s stride and aid in the
development of artificial
gaits. Western horses wear a
light shoe to encourage a
short stride and an even,
balanced gait. Their hooves
are generally evenly
trimmed all around.
Horses in show classes
wear weighted shoes and
their hooves are trimmed to
come to a point to assist
development of gaits like the
rack and slow gait. Added
shoe weight on the heel
emphasizes the flashy action
of the Tennessee Walker or
the Hackney. The standard
bred trotter carries more
weight on the toe to
encourage a long, low,

reaching stride.
In their enthusiasm to
develop showy, artificial
motion, some horse owners
have in the past resorted to
less than humane proce
dures. One technique, prac
ticed most often on Tennes
see Walking Horses, was
called soring.
Soring involved a delib
erate irritation of the lower
leg around the fetlock (the
joint just above the hoof),
using chemicals and weights
to make weight bearing
painful. Thus the horse was
forced to lift its front hooves
high in the air while walking
to keep pressure off the
painful point as long as
possible. A sored horse was
pretty to watch, but was in
constant pain. Soring was
finally outlawed through
legislation encouraged by
national humane societies.
Soring should be dis
tinguished from firing, in
which the careful use of heat
aids the healing of various
types of joint and tendon
diseases. The objective of
firing is to reduce joint
movement and to promote
healing. Firing can properly
be done by a veterinarian,
who first gives the horse a
local anesthetic and then
slightly pierces the skin with
a small pointed hot instru
ment which brings an
increased blood supply to
injured area to aid healing.
Putting the horse’s leg in a
cast and allowing stall rest
can also be effective in
hcafcng joint and tendon
conditions.
One final note on the
subject: there’s an old saying
that a horse is only as good as
his worst foot. You can help
maintain your horse in top
shape by keeping in regular
contact with your blacksmith
and your veterinarian.

Birth Certificates Are Vital
And Not Difficult To Obtain
Birth certificates - we take
them for granted. But for our
grandmothers and grand
fathers keeping birth records
was often a hit and miss
effort. For them the old
custom of recording statis
tics in the family Bible
seemed good enough. But
more often than not, the
Bibles were lost or de
stroyed, causing many incor
rect birthdays and birth
years.
In 1919, Georgia law
required vital statistics to be
filed with the Division of
Information and Statistics
under the Department of
Public Health. Today the
Vital Records Unit is a part
of the Georgia Department of
Human Resources.
Original copies of all
births, deaths, marriages
and divorces are kept on file
in Atlanta.
“The Vital Records Unit
Provides certified copies of
an individual’s birth or death
certificate upon request.
Copies of marriage or
divorce certificates must be
obtained from the county in
which the event took place,”
says Clayton Turner, Di
rector of the Vital Records
Unit. “There are presently
250 million statistics on file
here with an expected 250,000
additions each year. The
office handles from 25 to 250
walk-in applications each
day, as well as a daily
average of 1,000 written
requests. The majority of
those requests is for copies
of birth certificates.”
A legal birth certificate is a
copy of a written record
which has either the seal of
the state, county or local
health department stamped
upon it.
The busiest months for the
Vital Records Unit are June
through August and into
September. “Those are the
months most people travel
abroad and they need proof
of their birth before they can
apply for a United States’
passport," says Turner.
"Also proof is needed prior to
entering a public school
within the state, or for
applying for Social Security
benefits."
Obtaining a certified copy
of your birth certificate is not
a difficult process. All that a
person needs to do is to go by
the local custodian’s office in
the county where he was
born, or contact the DHR
Vital Records Unit in
Atlanta.
The applicant will have to
give the mother’s and
father’s full names, the place
and time of birth and his or
her own name.
There is a standard $3.00
fee for the search of a birth
record which includes a
certified photostatic copy if it
is found on file in the

applicant’s name.
Individuals are entitled to
ask only for their own birth
certificates, or for those
belonging to their children,
unless a Superior Court order
has been issued.
Requests by mail usually
require a ten-day processing
period. The address is
Department of Human Re
sources, Vital Records Unit,
Room 217-H, 47 Trinity
Avenue, S. W., Atlanta,
Georgia 30334. The Vital
Records Unit is open to the
public Monday through Fri
day, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m.
“To avoid an unnecessary
delay, plan ahead and obtain
all the necessary information
that will help us help you,”
says Turner.

Georgia’s Flu
Season Brings
Mild Types
Georgia’s flu season is
here. But no cases of swine
flu have been reported.
In 1976 cases of influenza
like illness were about 30 per
cent above the yearly
average says Dr. John E.
McCroan, Chief of Epidemi
ology in the Department of
Human Resources. Cases in
the month of December were
50 per cent above the average
for that month.
This increase was expected
and is not a cause for alarm
says Dr. McCroan. A
recurrence of last year’s
B-Hong Kong flu is thought
to be responsible.
Dr. McCroan points out
that B-Hong Kong flu is not to
be confused with severe
A-Hong Kong flu of seven or
eight years ago. B strains are
usually much milder and
generally attack young
people and the elderly.
If you are one of the
Georgians who comes down
with a flu-like illness this
winter, you will probably
have these symptoms: sud
den onset of fever, head and
body aches, and fatigue.
Flu-like illnesses are highly
contagious.
After a few days you can
expect to have symptoms
similar to a cold sore
throat, a cough, and possibly
bronchitis. The illness usual
ly lasts from two days to a
week.
“Rest in a room with a
warm, even temperature and
no drafts is most important
for getting well as quickly as
possible,” says Dr. McCroan.
“See a doctor if your
temperature rises suddenly
after several days of
sickness. This may mean
pneumonia is developing.”
Government Costs
Newly completed studies
show that the federal gov
ernment now costs the aver
age American family $9,387
a year. The costs consist
primarily of tax, social se
curity and government reg
ulation monies, plus infla
tion.
