Re: [RC] Ground Control Horseshoes - heidi larsonI have used them on the fronts of my horse for nearly 3 years I think? My farrier was opposed to them in the beginning (we both now have testimonials on their website - his name is Chuck Kraus) They are pretty easy to put on, he especially likes the clear ones as he can see the white line so easily, they are harder to get off as they flex, unlike steel shoes. We also ride and train on gravel roads and my horse does really well in these shoes. They last 6-7 weeks and we've only lost one during a ride, two others were lost in the pasture, muddy conditions, late on taking them off, nearly 8 weeks. My horse has a big trot and he just would not do it for long in steel or alum. shoes, be he trots big in his GC! Hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions! heidi and kalasha --- apachepetra@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: I have been thinking about trying the Ground Control Shoes on one of my mares. I have to ride on mostly gravel roads and I worry about the concussion and stress from the hard ground. I was wondering if anyone uses or has tried these shoes and how they worked or didn't for you? Did you use them only on the front or all four? How long did they last and how difficult was it for your farrier to put them on and take them back off? How did the horse respond to the different feel? Thanks =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
