If you are serious that's incredible, my horse's steel shoes are worn =
paper thin by 6 weeks or approximately 100 miles. Granted I ride mainly =

still I'd love to find a shoe that lasts longer. What brand of =
horseshoes do you use? Thanks, Carol.

Hi Carol -- I'll ask Don next time I see him at a ride what shoes Geo uses. He did write back and said I was right on all accounts on the last post (he doesn't read ridecamp, and his saddle is a Synergist).

You may want to try St. Croixx extra-EZ shoes (wide web). You should be able to get more use out of those. Shoe wear also has a lot to do with each individual horse, and the speed at which you ride. The faster you go the faster you wear stuff out (shoes and horses included) <g> :+D That is probably part of the reason why Don is able to get so many miles on a set of shoes, and so many miles out of his horse.

Happy Trails,
