    It was probably one of those Cobby things, Monty. They all seem to have hoof walls a half inch thick.

    I imagine it also depends on the finished shoe size. Did you draw it much Chris? I don't see anything wrong with the pitch.

    The problem is the 13 inches, I can't make a bar shoe because I can't make it look right not enough metal and open heeled shoes look massive with a bit of fuller ing in them...
