snow emergency

["John & Sue Greenall" <greenall@vermontel.net>]

I have yet to find anything that works for snow other than pulling the 
shoes (they are really quite fine barefoot) or using hoofgrip (Mustad 
has them) rim pads with the shoe.  Pam works for a very short 
period of time, flat pads might help, but can still get pretty darn 
dangerous and popper pads work until the snow melts and the 
horse ends up with a pound of mud inside the pad.  Easy boots are 
slippery and the studded ones are very hard to keep on.  Have I 
covered everything?!  Just part of life in Vermont......where we 
FINALLY have snow.
