long toe low heel

This is a depiction of how long toe and low heel conformation of a horse's hoof can lead to serious forces applied to the hoof, especially the caudal heel area. This is only a representation of the vectors applied and not the actual forces applied to the hoof.  However, it shows the concept beautifully.
