One thing I have noticed. First off, the rocks this spring are worse 
than ever due to the flooding washing away what little soil we have. My 
7 year old is getting out and riding my endurance mare, so I am 
finishing the green mare and getting her legged up. Shoot, after a 
month her feet are worn. Heel growth isn't keeping up. I'm dreading 
shoeing her as that is another 85 bucks, and the farrier and I love her 
feet. BUT, if I want a legged up horse I think I have to do it. I'd put 
my 60 pound kiddo on her, but I know she is SAFE with my bombproof 
mare. No trails to stay off rocks here.
Maybe I'll bust out my ez boots the other mare never needed-she hasn't 
lost a shoe in 4 years. LOVE my farrier. You have to do what's best for 
your horse on your trails-period.
Isn't there an EZ boot how to page from Karen?
Tiffany-who is willing to send pics of my trails for those who don't 
believe what I am riding on.
