not sure If I can help but I got a free horse last year with flat hooves, the farrier told me anyway, I just kept riding her, I ride a lot of trails and on rocks and she was barefoot and over time her hoof naturally became more concave from hard riding while before I got her the owners just left her in a small pasture(probably what caused it) also shoeing over time causes it because the sole doesn't touch the ground as much as a barefoot one does, hope I don't sound like an idiot best of luck!
