RE: [RC] Ground Control Horse Shoes. - Libby & Quentin Llop DVMWe have used them on & off several years. Good for pavement, railway ballast, sandy or rocky footing. Slippery on wet grass, ice and mud. They promote foot rot and white line if you leave them on during wet - muddy weather. We plan to use them on the hind for the OD ride, because they protrude out the back, similar to an egg bar, protecting the heels. (Easyboots foamed on over aluminum for the front.) The wear limitation was often nails pulling thru the urethane. Currently (just started), we are trying 'Slimblade' #5 nails, which have a smaller blade to head size ratio. On pavement they wear as well as steel. (I think it is because they grip and hold, rather than slide.)

Please Reply to: Theresa cheyennetwalker@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I'm looking into getting the Ground Control Plastic horseshoes and was wondering if anyone has used them and what are the pro's and con's to using them. They look like they might be stong and hold up well.
