my husband is a farrier and we just tried the
plastic shoes and had the same problem as Katey Gies- quicked the horse as you
cannot tell where the hoof is and my husband never quicks horses. It was
ok in about 3-4 days. Also one should use washers when putting the nails
in as the nails work up into the shoe. Mine lasted 4 1/2 weeks and with
metal shoes I can go at least 7 weeks. I will not use them again.
This was an experiment and I was not impressed.
