I would like to hear more about the
Equibuild. My farrer and I have been using the Equipack when I want to pad
for rocky rides. But, on two occassions the Equipack has come out during a
loop. Shoe stays on but pad material is gone - the farrier does use the
mesh between the hoof and shoe to help keep the Equipack in. Why do you
think the Equibuild stays in better? Are you using the mesh with the
Equibuild? Any and all suggestions I could pass along to my farrier would
be appreciated.
Patty, There are products made especially
for this. I know one is called Equi-build, because that's what we use
for rocky rides. It's a pour-in pad material, and you can pull it out
after the ride (or leave it in if you want). You get it from farrier
supply places. Works great. The Equi-build is black and works
better for rocks. The other kind is clear (I think it's called
Equi-pack) and is softer and more rubbery; it tends to get eaten out by
rocks.
