I didn't say you'd get a bigger foot.  I said you can make it a C shaped in
one trimming.  You take the heels off and pull the toes back where they
belong and you get a round hoof with the base of support under the coffin
bone instead of so far forward.

Feet that have been trimmed and then allowed to platter out are completely
different.  In addition, all these horses we're discussing (other than the
ones that Tom brought up which started this discussion) have had human
intervention.  They're not feral and are not allowed the amount of movement
that the horses in Ovnicek's studies had.

imagine how somebody could take a "U" shaped horse's hoof and make it a
*bigger* C shape by trimming.<<
