I was trimming a draft horse for a friend in Boise and he pointed out my angle.
He said, 'You're cutting that heel like you're scared of it, it's making the toe too long.' I realized I'd been holding the knife at maybe 15 degrees for years because an old boss yelled at me for cutting too deep once. The next day I tried a more aggressive 30 degree angle and the breakover was way cleaner. Has anyone else had a simple comment totally shift a basic habit?

But is a slightly longer toe on a draft horse really that big of a deal?

Ngl it's wild how one offhand comment can expose a bad habit you didn't even know you had. Happens with driving or cooking too, you just get stuck in a routine.
