I'm not sure what you mean by turning and not growing right but I have heard wedge shoes being a possible answer for a lot of coffin bone issues.

A coffin bone rotating is founder, not growing properly, my guess the coffin bone was damaged at some point.

Best to ask a vet

I was told when I bought her back in March she was sound but has to wear wedge shoes cause when she was younger her coffin bone in her back feet tried turning and that her coffin bone grows straight acRoss in stead of how it's suppost to so she has to wear wedge shoes I have barrel raced all my life I'm 37 and I had never heard of coffin issues in the back feet. She doesn't have any problems with the wedge shoes I was just wondering if anyone had ever heard or delt with this issue....
