Bob,
What about that traction in mountainous and hilly terrain? I ride in what
sounds like similar conditions to what you ride under here near Bozeman,
Montana. A couple of years ago I tried some wide web shoes. It was August and
the grass on the hills was burned dry and extremely slippery. My mare had a
heck of a time getting down slopes we'd been riding with rim shoes all summer.
I have to admit, I was very green to the sport and I wasn't terribly impressed
by the farrier I was using at the time. I'm not using him any longer. I was
concerned she may pull a muscle during a slip. Is it possible she would have
adjusted to the slipperiness? Would the answer have been a standard flat plate
instead of a wide web shoe? Maybe it wasn't the shoe at all, but the long toe,
low heel the farrier was leaving on the foot?
Just wondering
