Long toes on Hinds

I recently shod a new horse Scooby a big cob that had very long pointy toes. What I want you to notice is the line I've drawn across the widest part of the foot doesn't change, so you can see just how long his toe was. Having the breakover shortened will make it a lot easier for him to roll over his toe, and make him less likely to trip.
