I will second this. Schock tamers are the way to go. I have used the silicon
packing that you can order from Overland Farrier Supply 800-838-5277. It is
specially formulated to use with horse hooves. I fill the pad til it squirts
out the back then i duct tape the hoof securely and make the horse stand on
a level surface (mats or cement flor) for 2 hours. I leave the duct tape on
til it wears off.

I did 5 days of the XP this way with NO SHEDDING at all. When we pulled the
shoe and pad after, the silicon was perfectly formed to the frog and there
was NO sand, dirt or thrush in the hoof (7 week old pad/shoes).

Just my experience.
