 twisted and began tearing.  The whole mess had to be pulled and the owner
 saw the light and had him reshod in conventional iron shoes!  Probably best
 for special (no mud) rides.  That made me wonder how they would be in 50-100
 miles of sand.  Anyone know? >>

Betty, I don't know about sand, but my husband used Slypners a lot over in 
Denmark where he had to ride a lot on pavement and cobblestones.  That seemed 
to be their real forte.
