Re: [RC] hoof question for barefooters - Flora Hillman

Old horseman's trick:  paint her soles with Venice turpentine.  That should harden them up quickly. 
 
If it were me, I'd paint her soles every day up to -- and including-- the day of the ride.  Carry a set of easy boots with you on the trail -- if you feel you need them, put them on.  At least you have the option of using them at your discretion.
