RE: [RC] Shoes for riding in mud, easy boots - Jerry & Susan Milam

The best shoe in mud is to slow down so there is less chance of slipping and
pulling something. There is no shoe that will improve traction in slop. What
you normally ride in is fine. Slow down.

Subject: [RC] Shoes for riding in mud, easy boots


I'm looking forward to the spring rides but am afraid they will
be pretty muddy with all the rain we have been getting.  Would
like ideas on what is the best kind of shoe to use in mud.
Currently my horse wears natural balance shoes since that is best
for the rocky trails we have to condition on but wonder if they
are the best for soft footing since they are heavier than regular
shoes.  Would rim shoes or regular plates be best for mud riding?
 Barefoot is not an option for this horse.  I like to use easy
boots at times when the trails I have to train on are really
rocky but they wear out so fast on the bottom when used over
shoes.  I also have tried using pads in them but the pads do work
out the back.  Any ideas on that?  Not sure I understood Karen's
message about using duck tape on the toe since my easy boots wear
out on the bottom edges.  Thanks and happy trails, Kathy Crothers
