Contracted heels, or hoofbound, is a common disease among horses kept on hard floor in dry stables, and in such as are subject to much saddle work.

According to the opinion of some of the French veterinarians, hoofbound should be divided into two classes—total contraction, in which the whole foot is shrunken in size, and contraction of the heels, when the trouble extends only from the quarters backward.
