[QUOTE="J, post: 141448, member: 2167"] I'll take a shot at this one although J&T will probably do a better job at it: This angle is measured between the ground line and the line of the front of the hoof wall. :x Harder to put into words than I thought it would be. :oops: The correct angle a horse should be at is dictated by its confirmation. (angle of the sholder and pastern I believe) The 53-55 degrees is an average # but it really depends on the horse. Hope I'm not too far off here. But to answer your question you can buy a hoof gauge that measures the angles. Looks like a horseshoe with a compass or protractor attached to it. [i](I get those two mixed up)[/i] [/QUOTE]
