So my
question is, how many nails do we really NEED to be putting in each
hind shoe?

Sharon - I don't use the toe nail in GCs and have
not had any problem. I also just use four nails in each shoe, escpecially
since I may switch to another type of shoe for a specific terrain, and want to
avoid the spaghetti strainer foot type. I do however, add another nail on
each side before anything over 50 miles. In the case of the hinds, you may
be ok there anyway. I think the fronts take a little more stress than the
back in most horses.
