Marathons,Cupidsand saddles

["parkerk" <parkerk@mail.rvi.net>]

I shod a pasture ornament mule with Marathon plastic horseshoes and they were pretty well worn at 5 weeks. Delta Horseshoe Co sent me some of their Cupid shoes to try on endurance horses but I haven't found a good prospect yet. I showed them to Tom Jones but he didn't look too impressed. Maybe I can talk Carol Crawford into trying them on Piney. They are too big to fit my horse. Has anyone tried them? The salesman at Delta said they were on the mule that top tenned at Tevis. They are aluminum coated with plastic. About saddles, I have a Fallis made Monte Foreman Balanced Ride [It's no battle to stay astraddle when you're riding a balanced ride saddle] that I have been abusing for about 25 years now. It fits everything fairly well and I have never fallen off it. I believe Ed Johnson used one on Bezetal.
