If your horse was your kid ... you would think nothing of it ..
just put some good quality combo boots on his front legs everytime you ride and
go have fun ..
Have you ever watched how people walk??
and not a one of them are concerned about it
lol

The Old Cowboys say a horse that toes out is a sign of speed.. As long as your farrier doesn't try to "make" the foot straight, you shouldn't have any problems.
