Hi Dr. O and all others,

I found this article and liked it because it was easy to figure out if your feet were generally correct by just using a pencil. Do you think the article is accurate, that following these four steps is a good general guideline?

Hello Ella,
Using a pencil is a good way to have a straight edge for evaluating angles and I think the points valid. For more on the proper angles and appearance following trimming see Care for Horses » Hoof Care » Care of the Hoof: an Overview.
