the nail 28, the hoof will be supported in
convenient position. for the application of
the shoe thereto and both hands of the
operator are free. After the animal has

bars may be readily removed so that the ani-
mal can be led from the platform. It will
be seen from the above that I have produced
a device of great convenience and utility.
10 whereby the operator is relieved of consid-

Owing to the simple construction of the
invention, it will be obvious that the same is
very durable in practical use and may be
15 produced at small cost.
While I have shown and described the
preferred construction and arrangement of
the several parts it will be understood that
the invention is susceptible of considerable
20 modification therein without departing
from the essential features or sacrificing any
of the advantages of the same.
Having thus described the invention,
what is claimed is:

connecting the series of uprights at each
side of the platform, upper and lower con-
fining bars removably mounted at their ends
in the corner upright, a transverse bar hav-ing its ends mounted in the additional up-
rights below the longitudinal rails and 35
adapted to extend beneath the animal's body
adjacent to the fore legs, -means adapted
for attachment to said longitudinal rails
and designed to encircle the animal's body
adjacent the hind legs, and means arranged 40
on each of the front and rear transverse
bars for elevating the animal's hoof.
2. A structure of the character described
comprising a platform, corner uprights
mounted upon said platform, additional up- 45
rights mounted upon the platform adjacent
to one of its ends, longitudinal rails connect-.
ing the additional uprights and the corner
uprights, upper and lower transverse con-
fining bars removably mounted at their ends 50
in said corner uprights, a transverse yoke
ba.r removably mounted at its ends in the
additional uprights and adapted to extend

fore legs, a block and pulley attached to one 55
of the rear transverse bars, and a rope ex-
tending over said pulley and provided with>
