[RC] Shoeing and TWH - Karen Ellis

Does anyone know of any reason why a TWH should be shod differently from other horses?  I am getting conflicting information but our horse is not moving well and I was  told by a breeder that she should be left long in the toe.
 
We have not done this.  She is coming up sore. We have looked at other reasons but we are now looking more closely at her feet.  She is not "lame" but moving stiffly and sore.  Vet lameness exam negative.  Blood panel was inconclusive - "elev. CPK may be mild met. but could also be in that range from injury".
 
Any ideas?
Thanks
Karen
