Well the first pic, which is not what I was referring to above.....
The first pic did not look like long toes...just starting to get
underun heels, which is not long toes, those two are completley
seperate things.
The other pic, I think it was the second one taken from underneath,
which looked like the space was a little long for me....in our
terrain we can not have that much space as cinders get packed in and
causes problems.....
There are many different ways to trim a hoof, it all depends upon the
horses foot, the sole plane.....there is not just one way to do it.
