I have just started to trim my horses feet. Farriers a not very abundent where I live. Everytime I find a good one they either move or cut way back on their business. I have had 5 different ones in the last 10 yrs. I can not even find one this year. So that is why I have started doing them. Problem I have an Arab with a right club foot. When trimmed properly you can hardly tell. Both of my horses feet are at a 45 degree angle and the club foot is at 60 degrees. What should the correct angle be in geneal for normal feet and what is the best way to approach the club foot. The frog on that foot does not even touch the ground. He does have very hard feet. Both horses stand very well so that is not an issue. Any response would be helpfull. Thanks Eileen
