[RC] [RC] Ground Control shoes - resetting? - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Lucy Chaplin Trumbull wrote: Can anyone offer any pointers on how to reset ground control shoes - i.e. get them off the feet without ripping them to shreds, so they can be reused? Hi Lucy, My farrier just pulls the nails out individually. We've never had any problems resetting the GCs for mutiple uses, but as you note, pulling the nails out seems to be the hardest part. Anyway, he just pulls the nails one at a time, rather than prying the shoe like you would a metal one. FWIW, my farrier had never heard of GCs until I bought some and asked him to put them on one of my horses. His initial reaction was "these will never work" and he thought I'd be calling him in a matter of weeks to have him put steel back on. He now buys the GCs in bulk and puts them on quite a few of his clients' horses as well as some of his own horses. :) ~Nicole =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
