Re: [RC] conditioning on old roads - Karen Sullivan
Title: conditioning on old roads
A lot of our local riding is on hard roads. I
have worried for years and years about the concussion on the legs, no matter how
well conditioned and slowly brought up....with shoes, there is just no avoiding
the shock.
Frankly...now all my horses are out of steel
shoes. Doing riding on good footing barefoot; and for hard or rocky roads
I boot (easy boot epics with comfort pads)....and then don't worry AT ALL
about shock or concussion....
Never thought I would embrace the barefoot
thing....but many different trim styles and mine is working well......horses are
all doing better and moving better.
