Subj: Farrier Question

My mare fox trots, but often breaks into a hard trot, especially if she starts trotting fast. (Though that is not necessarily when she hard trots.) I use her for trail riding. What would be the correct angles for her? Are plain shoes the correct choice? Thank you.

ANSWER:

IF A HORSE IS FOX TROTTING AND GETS TOO FAST TO HOLD THE FOX TROT YOU NEED TO SLOW HER BACK DOWN. THEN IF SHE IS STILL TO TROTTY YOU CAN CHECK THE ANGLE ON HER.
