How much does this affect a horses performance? What about trimming and shoeing? I know that it's not good to really try to "fix" it, but to trim and shoe to the horses natural angles. What about long term? Horse moves great and works a killer barrel and pole pattern. Just not sure what else to do. Any help would be appreciated!

Mine is slightly toed out. My farrier just trims/shoes him according to his natural stance. The only thing I really do different is make sure he has leg protection on when I am working him just in case he interferes any, which he hasn't seem to do.
