[drivingpairs] Re: More questions about shoeing

My pony is barefoot (with a proper trim, as are all my horses/ponies), I
drive on snow, gravel and asphalt, she has good traction with all surfaces.
 I have only had to use hoof boots once (old macs, which was when the
footing was much more abrasive than what she is conditioned on).  It is
wonderful not to have their feet ball up with snow.
