As a farrier I can tell you what I'd like to see in a worker horse wise, feet in line with the limb when viewed from the front, when viewed from the side, the patterns should not be to long to upright and defo not to sloping. I d rather see patterns upright as opposed to sloping, same goes for the feet, you want bang in the middle but if I had to choose I'd take upright as opposed to flat. If you want a productive, sustained working life the the legs should be straight when viewed from the front and shoulder, pattern angles the same when viewed from the side, no flat spread, crap feet.
