Can anyone tell me what next?

I've measured Ramseys feet.  His front have shoes on and his back do not 
and they were just trimmed Friday.  As an aside the front shoes are 
wider then his foot is trimmed on the front due to the farrier not 
hearing the first time that I wanted shoes he trimmed them more narrow I 
guess then he would have had he known he was going to be putting shoes on.
This is a new farrier to me but he has a better reputation then the 
previous so I'm just doing the best I can and trying to learn as much as 
I can.
I have checked the size charts for Old Macs, Easy Boots and Boa and none 
of them have the rear size I seem to need.  I believe I measured 
correctly.  He was standing perfectly still, not jiggling and I only 
measured to the bulb, not the end of the hoof on the rear.

It is his rear feet I'm most concerned about.
                     Width   Length
Front (both)    115 x 120 mm
Rear (both)     105 x 120 mm

Does this mean
a- His feet are trimmed incorrectly
b- He can't wear 'boots'
c- I need to just wait and trim wait and trim until his rear feet become 
a bit wider?

Any advice would be appreciated.
