🐴 WHICH ONE HAS BETTER BREAKOVER — 45° OR 54°?

Here’s a good visual example of why hoof angles, toe length, and heel support matter when we talk about breakover.

Take a look at the two hooves pictured.

🔴 45° Hoof Angle
A lower hoof angle is often associated with a longer toe and lower heel. When the toe becomes excessively long, the horse has a longer lever to overcome during breakover, which can delay the point at which the heel leaves the ground and the hoof rolls over the toe.

🟢 54° Hoof Angle
A more upright—but still normal and appropriately conformed—hoof can have a shorter toe and stronger heel structure. With the breakover point positioned appropriately, the horse has a shorter lever to overcome as the foot leaves the ground.

But there’s an important point: 54° isn’t automatically “better” simply because the number is higher.

Every horse is different. We should be evaluating the hoof in relation to the horse’s individual conformation, hoof-pastern axis, heel structure, toe length, limb loading, movement, and soundness. The goal isn’t to chase a specific number or artificially create a steeper hoof.

The goal is to establish the most appropriate hoof balance and breakover for that individual horse.

Good farriery isn’t about making every hoof look the same. It’s about understanding the biomechanics behind what we’re looking at and making informed decisions for the horse standing in front of us.

“I’d rather just nail on a shoe.”

I’ve heard that statement at farrier clinics more than once over the years.

And in many cases, yes—a traditionally nailed shoe is a great option. But what happens when there isn’t enough healthy hoof wall left to safely drive a nail?

What do you do when the hoof is damaged, compromised, or so fragile that nailing on a shoe could cause even more harm?

In my opinion, simply saying “leave the horse barefoot” or “just nail it on anyway” isn’t always the most humane answer. If the horse is foot sore and we have modern products available that can provide support, protection, and comfort while the hoof heals, why wouldn’t we use them?

Glue-on shoes are not meant to replace traditional shoeing. They’re another tool in the toolbox.

They allow us to:
• Protect damaged hoof walls.
• Support the internal structures of the foot.
• Improve comfort during rehabilitation.
• Avoid driving nails into compromised hoof capsules.
• Give the hoof an opportunity to grow and recover.

The best farriers don’t limit themselves to one technique—they adapt to the horse standing in front of them.

Being able to safely apply a glue-on shoe when there’s nothing left to nail to is a valuable skill. Every horse deserves the best solution for its situation, not just the solution that’s easiest for us.

The goal has always been the same: keep the horse comfortable, support healing, and return them to soundness. Sometimes that means steel. Sometimes aluminum. Sometimes barefoot. And sometimes, a glue-on shoe is exactly what that horse needs.

Never stop learning. Never stop adding tools to your toolbox. Our horses deserve it.
