==========================================

 Adding weight to any hoof retards the timing of that hoof in relationship to 
the others,increases lift,and increases length of stride. REMOVING weight at 
the other end of the horse does the reverse.To say nothing of the fact that 
removing that weight by removing the shoe speeds timing of the breakover. Thus 
the stepping pace horse can be made smoother by going barefoot in the 
rear,which is good for the horse anyway,as opposes to adding weight at the 
front,which is bad for 'em unless done very moderately.
