[RC] XP 04/horses shod? - betndezMy experience with titanium shoes was that they did not last as long as steel shoes. At the time I tried them we were training on rocky trails and gravel logging roads. I also noticed that they didn't grip as well as the steel shoes and tended to give more slippage to each foot fall. Doubt that was a very good thing and it certainly made me feel a bit insecure, even on a catty horse. So after about 3 weeks of training and one desert ride either a 50 or an 80, not sure which now, they were thin and I had them replaced with steel shoes. Just my experience with titanium, leaving me with the opinion that they are not what they are advertised to be, at least on gravel and rock. . . maybe on sand or soft footing they'd be OK.
