fore foot

front hoof /

Definition

The hoof of the forelimb. The hoof angle (angle of the dorsal hoof wall to the ground) is usually between 45° and 55°, depending on breed and individual conformation. Warmbloods generally have a slightly higher hoof angle in the fore feet than Thoroughbreds. The shape of the hoof when viewed from the sole is usually rounder than the hind foot, although it should not be wider then it is long.
