That One Nail I Keep Seeing People Set Wrong on Draft Horses

You know that quarter inch too far back on the outside quarter nail? I see it all the time on Clydesdales and it causes a wedge effect that can crack the wall inside six months. I picked it up after watching three different horses at a clinic in Lexington get sore in the same spot. Anyone else notice this on the heavier breeds?

Respectfully gotta disagree, I've never seen that cause problems on draft horses.

Honestly @cora_perez, is this really a big deal or just overthinking it?
