Are you punching a finer nail hole on these wide webs? Often times a lighter 
training plate or similar shoe is used in cases where the wide web or regular 
web is punched to deep.Maybe we just have a different opion on what 
constitutes a thin wall.Most thin walled horses I run into a wide web is 
punched to deep and it would be imposible to drive nails without quicking 
unless you punched a finer nail hole.Something to think about as far as 
support.I am sure you have noticed alot of thin or poor walled horses( and I 
think there is a difference) foot will actually fall through the shoe or the 
sole will be lower than the wall when its pulled off.So as far as the support 
aspect a lighter thin shoe lets the foot rest closely if not entirely on the 
ground which supports the foot 100% over the area that strikes the 
ground.Just some food for thought.RD
