My husband had his horse shod with borium on
the shoes for Tevis many years ago. The horse kept slipping on the rocks
and falling and skinning his knees. Unless there is a change in
the product, I wouldn't try it.
I think people had talked about this before, but after Tevis, I was
wondering if anyone had used Borium on their shoes before a rocky ride like
the Tevis? I was wondering if that would cause too much drag, and be
detrimental, or if it would be offset by the added grip when climbing
rocks. Maybe it could prevent horses from falling. I wonder if the
Borium would be worn off by the time the ride was done. We do so much riding
on hilly asphalt roads, that sometimes I wonder if I would like a little
Borium for my day to day riding also. Comments?
