Watched a new guy trim a hoof and saw my own old mistake

He was rasping the wall at a super steep angle, just like I did for my first two years. The owner's trainer pointed out the horse was landing toe-first on that foot, which finally clicked for me. Anyone else take way too long to connect the trim to the actual breakover?

Connecting the trim to breakover seems a bit overblown sometimes. Most horses are pretty forgiving if the angle's a little off. It's not like a single trim mistake causes a major problem right away.

Small issues add up over time though.
