Hey Alex, so when you mapped a foot , what’s your goal when applying a shoe ? Is it so the shoe has a 50/50 from the center of rotation? 50 % towards the toe and 50% towards the heels?
Ideally that is what we are looking for Rolando yes! Good dorsopalmar hoof balance. Complimented by good heel to toe height ratio, good hpa and correct mediolateral balance and we are on the right track
Hi Alex I've watched this vid many times and i think its really helpful on Caldwell hoof mapping. Have a question but how do we determine the heel origins? You said usually the widest part of the frog. I thought it was the last weight bearing part of the heel buttress but in the video you seem to go further back than that? Thanks in advance!
Hi Cindy, Yes you should look to find the actual heel origin, so where the heel grows from. The heel buttress can distort so often not a fix known position. Hope that helps😀,
Hmm. With much respect I don't find this style of hoof map provides much useful information. I played around with this technique but it doesn't help recognise migrated and distorted structures that you could be basing the entire map on. I'm much more familiar with the ELPO/Daisy Bicking style of hoof mapping which uses many more subtle external landmarks (termination of bars, bar swells, frog boob etc) to avoid the mistake of basing your map on distortion/migrated structures when determining anatomically correct breakover.
Susan do accept my apology and thank you for bringing this to my attention. This is not usually the case as if you watch other videos of mine you will see I'm often active in the chat....Did you have a question yourself ?
Great video, Alex!
Thanks James! Great work on you'r channel also, I enjoy watching!
Hey James. I'm definitely gonna get one of those grinders.
Nice. Bring on part 2

the ideal is a 50/50 ? or 40/60??
Sup Alex, thanks for the videos!!
Do you have any barefoot trimming video??
Would have enjoyed it more, if you had went ahead and trimmed the hoof. But! it was still informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Maybe check out part 2? 😁
Hello sir come to saudi arabiya plzz
At the end you have your pop ups completely wrong

I realize that this video, is quite old. But I also noticed that you didn't answer ONE question, other than an apparent friend of yours. Not cool l
