[RC] synthetic shoes - Laura HayesStephanie wrote: >>>>I have two brands of shock absorbing shoes here. One is pure rubber over steel, called Orlovs. The other is three initials, ATM (aluminum, Titanium, Magniseum) with Luwex pads underneath. As of right now I've not tried any of these and have "orthopedic" steel shoes on my horse due to a major crack. I tried the ground control shoes and were not happy with them. My horse has never lost a shoe until those. She didn't have thrush, but I felt like they were cheaply made, poor traction, and all around disliked them.>>>>> Interesting, I think the Ground Controls are GREAT! I have never lost one, they last forever (OD trail) and the traction is as good as a steel shoe on slippery grass or mud, and the best I have ever had on the pavement and rocks. I have used the ATM shoes- they break - like in half, after about 30 miles. They have done it all three times I used them on two different horses. I really was disatisfied with them. I just put a pair of Orlovs on tonight for my friend Libby. She likes them, but I was concerned that the metal core was very light and warped out of shape with very little pressure. We'll see.
