April, Don has some good suggestions there, I'd just like to add one
other type of shoe that I use on the fronts of all my horses &
mules----Ground Control----they are made of some amazing plastic & actually
outlast steel for me. Most of my conditioning is done on HARD gravel roads
(sometimes as slick as pavement), with some fields here & there. I
have used them on the rears but I believe the hinds need a little 'slide' to
move properly & the Ground Controls don't allow any.
