ABSTRACT:
The instrument includes first and second parallel bars interconnected by a post perpendicular thereto. The first bar is adapted to be placed against the underside of a horse's hoof while the second bar is placed against the rear of the first joint of the foot adjacent the hoof. In this position the second bar is about perpendicular to the post. The second bar bears a heel brace in the form of a flat plate which projects rearwardly therefrom at an angle of about 27.degree. to the perpendicular line from the second bar. A screw and fitting releasably connect the first bar to the post and the second bar is hinged to one end of the post for rotation therearound while maintaining its parallel position with the first bar. The heel brace bears against the intersection of the hoof and first joint at the rear thereof when the instrument is in place, and cooperates with the second bar in preventing slippage of the instrument during measuring of the hoof. The first bar is set at a tilted angle of about 60.degree. from the main plane of the post for better viewing during measuring. The second bar has a centered notch to bracket the first joint of the foot and the heel brace is aligned therewith so that when these two are centered on the first joint and hoof heel, respectively, the post is aligned along the length of the hoof for easy viewing of hoof symmetry.
