Are you now training with borium or studs?  If not, don't use them on 
Tevis.  You know one of the cardinal rules of endurance is that you don't 
try something new at a ride.

Personally, I'd think that boruim or studs would be a Real Bad Idea for 
riding that trail.  But then I think putting anything on a horses' feet 
that doesn't allow a bit of slide is a Real Bad Idea anyway.  If it's that 
slippery, then I don't need to ride.  If it's not slippery, then I don't 
need borium or studs.
