[RC] Hoof Pads-ShockTamers and Luwex - Roger RittenhouseI have used and yes - sold both of these pads.I used SHOCKTAMERS full pad for over 15 year and many 1000 miles. I used them at most rides in the NE as well as the OD100/50. A great pad. I sometimes packed but most of the time let the pad conform to the hoof and frog. If you need to pack I recommend Vettec. They were sold to a company in England. The Shocktamers pads are now imported back to the USA. I have them in stock. I only recommend the full pad. You can cut the very center gray area out over the frog but not the black area. I did not care for the SHOCKTAMER RIM Pads way to flexible. I prefer the LUWEX RIM pads. I use these all the time unless I need the full pad protection. I was just informed the LUWEX full mesh pads are on the way to me. I have both sizes. I switched to these pads because of the mesh bottom. The sole would breath better. Plus you can washout the dirt with a hose. If the ride was really rocky, I would pack with Vettec. I think the Shocktamer pad does offer shock protection. I can tell by the way my horse travels on the hard pack roads. I have never lost a shoe because of the pad. In fact I rarely loose a shoe between sessions... If the shoer is good, the shoe will stay on - pad or no pad. -- Roger Rittenhouse 76 Wolf Pen Creek Rd Pikeville TN 37367 888-216-6602 Fax 423-881-3691 Cell 615-557-7605 www.vmaxept.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
