SNEAKERS Equithotics. Yes we sell them, YES they do work. ALL our endurnace
horse go with them. The NATRC horses go with LeCroix Eventers (steel) with
Shocktamers RIM pads. (full pads not allowed).

IF and WHEN NATRC ever drops the shoe rules, ALL our horses will go with
SNEAKERS. You can install the standard insert studs to reduce the slipping on
grass and mud..IF that can REALLY be done..We will be installing inserts and
studs for the spring rides.

I get about 10 weeks of use. Two settings. About 200 miles competition plus
training. It all depends on the trail surface. The more rock and hard surface
going, the less wear you get. I keep the old set for use in the fall or
spring when we are not going to rides.

I also take a used set to the rides and give them to the shoer, just in case
we loose one. We have NEVER lost one a ride. ONLY time a shoe came off was
after 6 weeks and in the deep mud at the farm.

This shoe is a full 'bar type' with a hole in the center. The aluminum plate
is coated with a long wearing poly plastic. Takes the shoer a little time to
learn to shape it and install it. Be nice to your shoer if you want these put
on. Be nice anyway....
I run on all 4.

Cost $45 pr costly but they work and protect from the long term shock
damage.

Used by TEAM KANAVY --ROC/WEG.

MUSTAD NAIL-SHU. A good shoe. Aluminum shoe (std) in-cased in a poly plastic.
This shoe does not wear very long. I get one 5 week setting. I have never
been able to get two setting when we were working. The plastic is too soft
for what we do.
BUT the shoe does reduce slipping and concussion. AND it is NOW LEGAL for
use in NATRC rides. I may put them on one of my NATRC horses this year.
Cost is $35 per pair. I run them on all 4. We do sell these, with
reservation about wear.

SLYPNER. Well.... I tried them. No luck on ANY of my troops. They were
difficult to fit. Inserts came out or could not be inserted due to
installation errors or the shape we had to have. IF the shoe fits your horse
as is out of the box you may be ok.
The nail holes are too close to the edge of the shoe. One horse we really
tried to get them to work on, lost a major portion of her side wall by the
4th time we put them on. All the nail holes cracked out.

I have a box of these, new and used with new and used inserts. I have about 4
pair of sizes 11 and 12. I will sell them cheap If anybody wants them. I kep
them so long trying to get them to work, I did want to ask for a refund. Call
or email.
