Re: [RC] Shoes - Padded or none padded - rides2far

I would think it would vary greatly across the country. I hate pads when
it rains on red clay...or riding on grass, they have the horse slipping
every which way. For that reason, when I've really thought I needed pads
(which is very seldom) I usually just stuck a pair of easyboots on over
the shoes.  I have only padded a handful of times ever...but I'm in the
Southeast.

After a few recent events, I have been wondering what type of 
shoeing would be the best for my horse to compete in endurance. For 
the past few years I have been using pads with packing though after 
having my sponsors horse get sand packed in the pad, we considered 
making a dime size hole in the pad and just flushing the foot 
out.??I know a few people who just use a regular shoe without a pad. 
What do you consider the best way to shoe any endurance horse?
