ABSTRACT:
A gauge for the measurement of the shoulder bone angles of horses, as an aid in the proper shoeing of the fore feet, has a reference level and a pointer relatively rotatable about a pivot axis, a concave locating cup concentric with the pivot axis and adapted for positioning over the horse's shoulder point, clamp means releasably securing the pointer and the reference level for selective relative rotation, and protractor means to indicate the relative angle between the pointer and the reference level. The reference level provides determination of the angle between the pointer and a ground plane. The protractor includes a scale and a cooperating needle or index marker, the needle being preferably on the pointer and the scale preferably being on the reference level and concentric with the pivot axis.
