Heidi,

I had a very similar problem with my horse's front shoe last summer -- I 
didn't notice that the shoe had shifted a bit to the outside, not supporting 
the inside --- the inside wall of the front hoof actually grew down over the 
edge of the shoe between shoeings.  The horse had a corn on that inside heel 
where he wasn't properly supported by the shoe.
Good luck!
