[RC] Pads after shoeing - AprilHi, Ridecampers,I am looking for a pour-in pad solution that can be applied after shoeing. Here's what I've done. Last year I had my farrier put shoes and pads on my horse for Chicken Chase in Indiana. This year, my farrier came out a couple days before City Slickers. I was thinking about City Slickers, not Chicken Chase, and forgot to have him put pads in. Chicken Chase will fall into the same shoe cycle and I don't want to have my farrier out to pull the shoes and put pads in. I don't want to use Easyboots over shoes because I have not done that in training and I don't want to introduce the extra weight and bulkiness at this late date. Same for Bosana boots. Most of the stuff I've read indicates you should put the pour-in pads in when you shoe. Equi-Build and Equi-Pak both seem to indicate they can be applied post-shoeing. Has anybody used these this way in humid climates? I have foudn a couple of posts in the archives of users using these in dry climates. Does anybody have any other suggestions? I may end up just hoping he'll be ok without pads. I've done one day rides there without pads, but doing two, I would like the extra protection. Thanks!
