I had an endurance horse once with pedal osteitis.  Had a "corrective" shoer 
work on him (looked to me as if all he did was radically back off the toes) 
and the horse was back to endurance in a very short time!

As for Equithotics, I tried them and also picked up a couple of stones, and 
then my horse's hooves started to blow out with them, so that experiment was 
over.

Elfta is using a shoe now on Kaizen that is front half steel and back half 
just like sneakers--this is working the Best Yet!

Let me know if you want me to try to find out where she gets these and what 
they're called.
