[Ag-eq] cleaning horses hooves

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Daniella.
I think I can describe a V-shape.  Hold 2 fingers up straight.  Use your
pointer finger and the tall finger next to it.  Now spread those 2 fingers
apart as far as you can.  They will be far apart at the tips, and close
together by your hand.  That's pretty close to a V-shape.

Hello Michelle,
I don't know what a V shape is. Would I just hold the hoof with one hand and
feel with the other? I've never cleaned hooves because no one has known how
to teach me but I want to start.

frog because it is a V shape. Just put your hoof pick in the little groove
next to it and start cleaning. It's just fine to do this.

One question I have is as a totally blind person, how do you know where the
frog is on the hoof of a hourse? How do you make sure you clean around it,
and avoid hitting it?
