shoeing for concussion

[susanssky5@horsecity.com]

Hi, Angie!  Worst ride/best shoeing job.  Took my Florida 
horse to the NC in Timberon NM in 1999.  There were 3 Florida horses there.  I inquired with 2 farriers about those Slypner "Sneakers" and was told they don't stay on.  Plunked down a chunk of change, had aluminum plates on 
front w/oversized nails (cleats!), then pads, and also that
 goopy caulk-like gel squirted in there, and external 
gripper nails.  On rear did the same thing but with a 
little heavier shoe. Sky thought he had AirJordans on or something!  One Florida horse pulled, the other ended up with 4 easy boots and gel (Echo & Shah).  WONDERFUL
 WONDERFUL, I'm doing it again for the NC in Kentucky.  The 
rocks in NM were so bad they were boulders on limerock, it seemed.  Also, FYI, this was after road founder from the Liberty Run lake loop in 40 minutes.  Sky's had no more road founder.  Hope this helps.
