I perfer my horses to be between 53 and 55 degrees in the front. It can
be hard to get the exact same angle on both front feet if one is clubed,
I will use a wedge pad if needed to get both front
feet close to the same degree.
I think 50 degrees is too low, you may heading for a injury.
That being said, every horse is different so it is important to know what your
horse's angles are. I ask the farrier to check every time they they work on my
horses - I like to see a farrier who checks and rechecks as they are shoeing my
horses. I also ask for them to measure toe lenght all the way around
every time.
