Ah yes, Heidi has refreshed my memory... we also used a toe nail, and  
we also re-clinched often.  I bought my own set so I could do it  
myself as needed.

Also, a friend of mine tried these shoes, and they walked themselves  
sideways off the hooves within a week.  Same farrier as mine, so same  
installation method, just on a different horse.  I think horses with  
some particular "ways of going" (even if they're trotters) just can't  
wear them.
