Re: [RC] Angled pasterns and shoeing - Truman Prevatt
I've used egg bars (fronts) for several years on my horse. He had many
miles with them. They work just fine. I used them on rocky trails,
sandy trails with lots of exposed roots, on gravel roads and muddy
trails. No problems. Loving's article was in Trail Blazer about 10
years ago if I remember right.

trailer at the time) and I trail rode on some of the hairiest mountain
trails you never want to see.? After one such ride, the ranger made us
promise not to go on that trail again because he didn't even ride his
horse on that trail and his horse was shod with barium.? With one
notable exception, Sun never missed a step in his egg bars.

I think Nancy Loving recommends egg bars all
around.

Properly fitted egg bars can be a godsend.
