Did you have any trouble with the snow balling up in your
horses feet? I have ridden in the snow out here and it packed so
tight and raised him so high off the ground that he wouldn't
move unless I cleaned them out. It got so I could only go a
short distance and would need to clean them out again. I had to
drive up into the mountains to ride in the snow so I just avoid
that now in the winter. My horse is unpadded and my farrier
discussed the pad with ball option if I really wanted to ride in
the snow. I realize snow can be wet or very dry and this might
make the difference? Did any horses have problems with that.
How do you riders in the snow handle it?
Thanks,
