Draw an imaginary straight line through the widest part of the foot. From that line back to the heels should be more total surface area than in front of that line. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.horsekinetics.com/horse-hoof-health"><P>Second, the frog should be at least ½ as wide at the heel base, as it is long. It should also make contact with the ground at the base. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.horsekinetics.com/horse-hoof-health"><P>Third, the angle of the hoof should parallel the angle of the pastern. It is not an exact number but usually falls between 45 and 55 degrees. The best way to determine if proper angle is met is to look at the foot from the side and place a straight edge (ruler) along the front aspect of the hoof from the toe to the coronet band. If it is a correct angle, the front aspect of the pastern will follow on the bottom of the straight edge exactly all the way to the fetlock. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FD8D1BFC-06C2-42C1-9A3D-48A938740160/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
