Regardless as to whether the horse is barefoot or shod, several features are deemed to be acceptable and others are not, when it comes to hoof angles. What is the ideal hoof angle? What angle do you like the front hooves? When it comes to these devices, there’s little middle ground. Hoof angle dos and don’ts. What angle do you try to achieve for hind hooves, etc.? Understanding what angles are best for your horse’s hooves can help you identify problems and will hopefully allow you to nip any issues in the bud if they do arise. Over the past 28 years of my shoeing career, clients, veterinarians and other farriers have asked three common questions about hoof angle. One angle you want to look at is the coronet angle, also called the “hairline angle,” which you view from the side, on both front and back hooves. If this angle, or line, is broken, it indicates a poor trim due to either too much toe, a concave break in the line, or too much heel, a convex break in the line. The angle of the hoof should match the angle of the dorsal surface of the pastern.
