RE: [RC] HOT shoes. - Linda CowlesIf someone wants to spend say $5000, ... It is actually easier than measuring the temperature of carpet in a dieing steamer. For that we used the gizmo's canneries use to make sure your canned peas are processed properly. The only problem is: Who cares? We normally do not do endurance rides on blacktop. Who cares? I don't care about participating in this study you propose, but I do care about how hot pavement affects my horses feet. Why? Many of us ride out of parking lots - paved parking lots - and we often tie our horses to trailers as we tack and untack horses. I also know several rids with vet checks in paved lots. If the heat is bothering the horses feet, tying to trailers may not be a good idea. The temps have been in the upper 90's to 114 here in Northern California, pets, dairy cattle and chickens are dying by the thousands, so considering feet and heat is a good idea considering the weather. I always assumed it was okay, but... Assumptions can get you into trouble.
