Not all horses wear shoes. Some never need them because they're on grass their whole lives.
Corrective shoeing can also involve lengthening the toe or heel out beyond the edge of the hoof to correct conformation. I don't have a diagram, but if you imagine a horse wearing a logn heel, then that foot can't drop down lower then it should and the toe cannot rise above the ground abnormally. They can be difficult to keep on the horse though.
