    [RC] Old Shoes - goearth


    Sorry to be stepping so far into the past but i guess thats what i am...a thing of the past. But during the GAHR, i had more faith than money.  In Millersburg, Ohio i needed a set of shoes.  I saw all these Mennonites going down the road in their Buggys getting it on and not slipping on the pavement.  So i called a Local Farrier named Miller and he set me four shoes that they used on their buggy horses and charged me less than the farriers on the ride.  The Vets all took photos of those shoes and said ..."They will Lame your Horse".  The rest of the story is i pulled the fronts at the Utah Sate Line and the rears much further on.  They had at least 3/8" Studite cleats, 3 at the toe and 1 at each heel.  I kept those shoes as articles included into a sponsorship award to my sponsors.  tom sites
