I have only ever been able to reset a pair or two (early in the season, not 
riding as much as I'd like) my farrier does put in a toe nail, no special 
things, maybe a clinching a week or so in.  I started this season in steel due 
to so much mud and knowing I wouldn't get to ride much (very rainy and I'm a 
fair weather rider) but my horse goes better in the GC.  Shelly type feet don't 
work as well in them as the hoof tends to flare a bit due to the shoe giving 
during concussion.  I keep them on all season and he goes barefoot for about 3+ 
months from Nov. through February.
