    [RC] conformation/wering out shoes - A. Perez

    >From the recent Quiz:
"b) legs not exactly straight and wore front shoes far faster 
then rear"

I am curious about wearing shoes out: what does this tell
you about how a horse moves?  My twh goes through shoes
very quickly (I do a fair amount of road riding).  When
I first got him, he went through one pair in four weeks of 
light riding - they were paper thin.  They were fairly evenly, 
so he moves fairly straight.  This is one of the reasons I try 
to keep him barefoot as much as possible.

Is this correlated with any lameness issues?
