Re: [RC] "sound"? endurance horses - rdcarrie Nah, don't see that it deserves an actual answer since you didn't bother to sign your name. Unless you're just trolling, why not tell us who you are?

Using pads, equitotics, plastic shoes, etc and then having to Bute the horse later is closer to abuse than good horsemanship. I expect this little note to stir things up a bit.
