After reviewing the answers I was surprised to find that most people  
do nothing except try to keep the breakover set back and frequent  
shoeing. I was happy to hear that Warpaint has all those miles with a  
wedge pad, as I know a couple other people who have used the pads but  
no one has the mileage like Warpaint. I think if you have a broken  
back pastern angle with good shoeing then using a wedge pad might  
actually be beneficial.

In my case I struggle between a healthy hoof or healthy joints as I  
can't get proper hoof pastern angles unless I shoe. So my choice is,  
do I have a horse with a healthy hoof and arthritis in joints or  
properly angled joints and a slightly distorted hoof (from shoeing)??
