When the trimmer pulls the hoof forward, and files the outer wall, they are removing support out of the hoof.
The trim should never try to hide a flare by removing outer wall
Instead the flare is healed and fully removed from trimming from the bottom of the hoof. The new tight lamina connection grows down from the top and the flares grow out.
Neglect and bad trims cause the stress on the lamina that causes the flare. Correct these issues and you heal the hoof internally and heal the flare.
Outer wall protects the softer internal structures. Too much removal you created too much give in the hoof. Too much flexion and stress, and cause mechanical laminitis.
Old outed theories of trim, shape a hoof to a shoe. Instead the hoof should function on it’s own to gain soundness over varied terrains. Outer wall thickness is key to soundness.
