    It should be noted I did not use the words support or compensate.

    So does the foot dictate the leg or the leg dictate the foot?

    From what I've learned, if ever in doubt, shoe or trim as it looks, take into account work load and basic confirmation. Take it one step at a time and monitor.

    The leg will dictate the hoof.

    I've heard you could try beveling down the outsides of the shoe. Theoretically it's supposed to make the "skirt" action more prominent and over several shoeings you should be able to see something.

    I've had enough varied success to not answer that question anymore. That said, the feet themselves are rarely the issue keeping them sound IME. I don't have any problems keeping unilaterally club footed horses moving even, and I work on a lot of them. (Or maybe it's *because* I work on a lot of them. lol)
