I've used shoes similar to the ones on the website. One horse did great and was very secure in them. He was happier in them than he was in regular metal shoes. Moved freely and with more extention. I tried them on another horse and he fell down about four times wearing them while I was driving him. It was usually he was just starting out at a walk from a stop and always on concrete or asphalt. I switched back to metal with borium for him and he was fine again. I guess it depends on the horse what will work. Heather Heather J.
