The target points describe precisely the apprentice's repertoire: corrective trimming and shoeing trimming in gait toe extension heel extension lateral and medial extension in artificial horn and as glue shoe. The principle is simple the effect is large: by moving the hoof's bearing point you move the load on the growth lines and the bone grows toward normal. A lateral extension — a small extension of the bearing surface on the outside — is used for example for foals that are toed-in while a toe extension can help foals with tight tendons stretch the pastern. Because foal hooves are too small and soft for nails work is done with artificial horn and glue shoes: the correction is glued or cast on the hoof instead of nailed.
