Re: [RC] Epona Shoes - Chris PausBravo for you wanting him sound. There are several things to consider about the type of shoes you select, whether they be eponas, equithotics, sneakers, boots, steel shoes, natural balance, whatever. 1. your horse's hoof type and size... the hoof wall, sole, etc. how sturdy are they 2. your horse's way of moving.. does he normally travel straight, does he swing his legs from side to side, does he overreach or interfere? 3. What kind of terrain and conditions will you be riding in. I talked a lot with the purveyors of synthetic shoes at convention this spring. I am interested in them. But the concensus was that on the soil type where I ride, clay, which gets extremely slick when wet, the plastic shoes are probably not the best choice. They are a better choice in other parts of the country. Good luck. It was so simple a couple of
