In my travels and years of shoeing horses, I’ve worked with at least 100 shoers. 

“Can and should you use a full-support shoe (bar shoe) to grow better heel?”

 As you might guess, the four-point trim is a method of trimming horses with both advocates and adversaries.

 Many beginners struggle with setting a horseshoe correctly on a foot. 

With balance being so critical to the success of trotting horses, it’s no wonder that Charles Arthur McLellan devoted a lot of space to the topic in his 1927 book, “The Art Of Shoeing And Balancing The Trotter,” which has been reissued by American Farriers Journal as part of “The Farrier Classics” series.
