Warning: A vet in Cheyenne told me to stop using my old hoof knife sharpening trick
Honestly, I was showing him my edge with the 20-degree bevel I've done for years, and he said it's actually causing micro-fractures in the horn. He pulled out a scope and showed me the tiny splits I couldn't see. Ngl, it hit different because he wasn't a farrier telling me, it was the guy who has to deal with the lameness issues later. I've been doing it wrong for probably a decade. Has anyone else had a vet point out a basic tool technique that was actually causing harm?

Yeah, that's a tough one to hear. I switched to a 25-degree micro-bevel after a similar chat.
