<< My horse was having serious problems in our clay type soil with slipping
and
sliding, no traction. I had flat plates on front, bare feet behind. With
addition of hind shoes he improved but still slid around a lot. I switched
to
the La Croix Eventer shoe. La Croix is a Canadian company who's shoes are
widely
available. The outer edge is rounded over and there is a swedge in the
surface
of the shoe that the nail heads seat down into. The swedge goes all the way
around the shoe and increases traction noticeable while the rounded edge
eases
break over. For our slippery conditions here I find this shoe works
admirably.

Bonnie, I think that's what we call an inner rim in racing. Good traction.
good balance. I like the outside rim better, but like the World Racing Plate
even better.
