A few questions I'd thought I'd ask since we're on the topic:

How exactly does a shoer incorporate the angles and toe lengths of a 
particular horse into his shoeing technique for that horse?  Are X-rays 
necessary to measure the angle and toe length?

I'm a relative newbie and my horse has a bit of a clubby foot so the 
difference in angles of the front feet noticeably affects his way of 
going.  I imagine that careful shoeing is important in maintaining 
soundness over miles and miles of trail.

Thanks!
