Abstract
The invention provides a hoof angle measuring device for use on horses. A base is configured to be held against the bottom of a horse hoof and a pivoting arm can then be aligned with the forward edge of the hoof to define the hoof angle. Without physical or electrical contact with the base or arm, an enclosed sensor detects relative angular position between the base and arm. Supporting circuitry also provided in an enclosure accepts signal voltage from the sensor and provides a protected digital display of the measured angle magnitude for the user.
