Horse Slippers

Agents of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals carry emergency kits wherever they go. To be ready for every accident which may befall an animal, the kits contain a horse blanket, a water pail, new bits, colic medicine, spirits of ammonia, iodine, tourniquets, adhesive tape, bandages, dusting powder for sores. But in winter if a cruelty preventer finds a horse scrambling for foothold on a slippery pavement, or one which has fallen on the ice, he is unable to help if he has not got some horse carpet-slippers. Last week the Society announced that it was short of slippers, appealed to the public for contributions.

Horse carpet-slippers, designed to fit easily on a kicking, frightened horse, are made of heavy carpet cut in the shape of a cross. A strong drawstring run through eyelets in the four flaps, allows the covering to be tied securely, neatly over the hoof. To willing citizens who have old carpet ,to spare, the A. S. P. C. A. will send a pattern, explicit directions for making horse slippers.
