Why would a gaited breed require a
different type of shoeing or trimming? Wouldn't a balanced,
level, trim and good shoeing that is balanced and keeps the toes
short be optimum for any horse? I am just interested in horses
going down the trail not about special shoeing for the show ring or shoeing
that would exagerate a certain gait.
*Hi Kim, I agree with this totally!!! Or,
from the other perspective...if you have to deviate from a good, balanced trim
to get a certain gait; that has just got to negatively impact on joints;
tendons and ligaments and long-term soundness of the horse down the
road....
