When shoeing a base-narrow, toed-in horse the forces acting on the hoof should be considered. Most weight is born on the outside (lateral) wall and therefore will often contract and fold under excessive pressure. To help, I like to widen the outside branch to help even out the pressures on the wall because the wide branch doesn’t sink into the ground as much as the narrow branch. Here’s an example:
