Re: [RC] Why do Thoroughbreds need shoes? - Sharon Levasseur

Sand is very abrasive.  I suspect the harder it is, the more abrasive it is...
and as you know, tracks are frequently VERY hard.  I bet excessive wear is one
of the big reasons.

Quoting Tom Sites <goearth@xxxxxxxxxxx>:


Why do Throughbreds need shoes if all they ever train and run on is sand and
grass?  Yet thats what they get (aluminum mostly).  I can stand corrected
here, but its just another of those things that makes 'no sense' to me that
i'd like to know the answers too. Kat, maybe you can enlighten me on this. ts
