Re: RC: Slypner Shoes

[Chameleon7@aol.com]

I put Slypners on our 17-year old gelding this year, liked the effect they 
had on his slightly arthritic front coffin bones ( immediately less ouchy)  
Starz actually took to sort of "boinging" in the vet line trot 
outs....drawbacks include expense, my farrier hates them because he thinks 
they are ugly and hard to fit correctly (if you shape them too much they 
won't clamp onto the little rubber inserts)  and also you have to carry all 
your own back-up shoeing supplies--right down to the special sly-pner 
nails....So that's my take on it...
