<< My arab David ("A King David") also tends to forge at the trot. He is
short
backed and long legged. Short cannons, relatively long shoulder, medium
forearm, long from elbow to knee. I am hoping that dressage work will
help--he has never pulled a shoe, he HAS injured the bulb of his hoof by
stepping on it but that was when he was very green and unused to carrying a
rider. >>

The very best solution to forging is to raise the angles in front, lower them
behind (speed up the front and slow down the hind.
