I just put epona shoes on the back of my horse. Eponashoes are plastic- 
shoes and my horse is having those shoes in the front for years, but  
never in the back.
I took him out for a ride today and he was moving like on eggshells  
and by the end of the ride he also was pretty sore in his hind legs. I  
called my farrier right
away to put steel-shoes back on him tomorrow, because I want to ride  
Los Padres next weekend. My farrier also placed the eponas behind the  
white-line of the
hoof for better break-over and it appeared to me that it was almost to  
far back. Has any of your guys experience with the horse walking like  
on eggshells after
shoeing?  Because I am very concerned about it.  I rode my horse a few  
days ago before he was shoed and he was fine. I really appreciate your  
input.
Thanks Gabriele
