RE: [RC] ground controll shoes - heidi larson


I have only ever been able to reset a pair or two (early in the season, not 
riding as much as I'd like) my farrier does put in a toe nail, no special 
things, maybe a clinching a week or so in.  I started this season in steel due 
to so much mud and knowing I wouldn't get to ride much (very rainy and I'm a 
fair weather rider) but my horse goes better in the GC.  Shelly type feet don't 
work as well in them as the hoof tends to flare a bit due to the shoe giving 
during concussion.  I keep them on all season and he goes barefoot for about 3+ 
months from Nov. through February.

Do you find you have to do anything
special to keep them on that you do not
have to do to "regular" steel shoes? Are you able to reset
them after 6
weeks of hard riding?

I've used these shoes on the front for about 4 seasons now
and LOVE them!
Have had no rock issues at all, I ride on gravel roads
mostly. Have only
lost one shoe (at a ride) but had a spare in my cantle bag
and was pushing
the amt. of time between shoeings!  I usually go 6
weeks with hard riding.

Has anyone
who has ever used the ground control
shoes ever had a problem with small rocks or gravel

getting

up under the shoe?
I have a mare that I am doing currently doing LD’s
with and she is doing
beautifully. She is fixing to get her first set of

these

shoes and my only
concern is this possibility. Has anyone ever had this
problem with these shoes?
