Well I used the honeycombs last shoeing and I find it hard to believe that
they would last even 1 shoeing on a distance horse.  In two weeks time and
I didn't ride much due to all the shoes being thrown maybe 5 rides max,
Blue had wear and tears on the honeycomb pads.  Actually a little tear had
already started, I ride in wash or rocks.  I doubt whether they will last
for distance riding at all and would never use them again.
