[RC] Hooves - Tom Sites

After a trip to the Outer Banks of NC and chasing down the wild horses there (and very embaressedly getting stuck in a sand dune, cause nobody told me before to take the air out of the tires  and i didn't know) , a unique question came to mind?  The hooves were of a U shape, like a mule, or horseshoes you throw at the pole and all the old shoes i've found from antiquity.
 
My buckets of old shoes kept for a future project are more like a C.
 
 
 
Where did the heels go to change a U into a C in the evolution to a riding horse?
 
This is probably all very simple, and there has to be an answer, and yet i fail to recognize it. ts
