Re: RC: shoes

Well it sounds like a good set up you have on your horse now.The snow rim 
pads are kinda expensive even for the farrier.The ones I use on the horses I 
do run about 10 dollars a pair or 20 a horse my cost.Your farrier is probably 
adding a bit because they are a bit of a pain to work with at times.I would 
suggest keeping the rim snow pads and maybe going with a drive in carbide 
studs.(Mustad makes them) There are several different styles to choose from 
and you can get the screw in if you like.There is less labor in drilling and 
driving or tapping than sweating carbide on.Your still looking at around 
$120.00 to shoe one all the way around in this way.Not sure what you were 
paying before so I don't know if it would sayou any money or not.My ever 
humble thoughts.RD
