Negative Sole Plane > Change of angle with just trimming (2)
This is another before and after example showing the change in coranary band angle.

Pre-trim
Running a straight line forward from the coronary band on the hind foot is a good external guide as to the angle of the pedal bone within the foot. The higher this contacts the front leg above the knee the more severe the negative angle of the pedal bone will be within the hoof capsule.

Post trim
With some good foot trimming you can see the changes that can be made. I just wish I had some radiographs of this one to share with you. This is the squarest we could get her to stand but it's still clear what I'm trying to show.
