I always shudder when someone drops the reins and says “my
horse never goes anywhere”. Kids, dogs, horses…all will make a liar
out of you eventually (:>)
Sonny completed Swanton Pacific 100 this weekend with 4
foamed on Easyboots. I may need to buy new ones
as some of the trail/roadway was so abrasive, but they stayed on thru mudsucking
bogs, not so much as a broken cable (:>) OTOH, a rider that joined up with
me lost a shoe and had to boot one hoof, but made it thru! One other that I know
of was not so lucky and the hoof was sore after the shoe pulled off and they
had to pull. Every option has pros and cons.

Oh, I don't know...people lose nailed on shoes at rides too. ;)
Now letting go of reins...I agree that one should not do that.
