Hello folks!
Just got a gorgeous 6 yo horse from Germany, who is shod on all 4s, fronts are pretty standard but backs extend quite a lot longer behind his hoof. Has anyone seen a similar setup? I am just not sure what to do about it, should I ask him to be shod the same next time or do as I planned and get fronts shod and hinds unshod? Just wondering if this shoeing that he has now is done for a good reason or not, as have heard both good and bad things about German farriers.
