What is the Functional Hoof Angle? - Hoofcare Today - Episode 4.1

For years there have been a lot of discussion about what the proper angle for a horse is and how to achieve that angle? This is Hoofcare Today - Episode 4.1 - Featured on "The Horse Show" with Rick Lamb and in this video (and the preceding Episode 4) Gene discusses the idea of establishing a "Functional" angle for each foot that is based on the individual needs of that foot. Gene also talks about how using a predetermined or arbitrary hoof gauge angle when preparing feet is more likely to cause pathology and lameness issues than by using guidelines that seek balance around the internal anatomy.

This is oneself the best video I could show anyone of my clients that might be mislead by what the outside of a horses foot looks like, not all of their feet are going to be the same every horse is unique and every foot on that horse is unique
