Re: [RC] Dare to go bare! - A. PerezQuestion for you bare-hoofers out there: do you ever have problems with the hoof wearing down too much? I have to do a fair amount of riding on paved roads. When I had my horse shod, he wore a set of steel shoes down to nothing in just 4 weeks, and this was with fairly light riding. Since then I have kept him barefoot. If I ride 1 - 2 times a week, he wears his feet enough that I can go months without a trin (fortunately, he travels stright, so they wear evenly). But If I were training for endurance, he'd wear his feet to nothing and be walking on his soles (would the soles wear through eventually?) How do you preven excessive wear? ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
