Horseshoe Size Chart
When choosing a horse shoe, the first criteria is the size (length and width). Unfortunately, the 'standard sizes' vary somewhat from one manufacturer to another, so one cannot say that a horse needs a given size, without also specifying which manufacturer is providing the horseshoe. To illustrate this, compare the following two charts, the first one being a relatively generic publication.
