Hi Dan,
I use plastic shoes, but not because of foot soreness, but because I do so
much of my driving on paved roads, that I felt they are better for
concussion. They act like they are wearing sneakers and seem to almost
bounce along. I've had excellent traction with them on all surfaces, wet
grass, mud, pavement and gravel. I would say the only downside I've found
is that if the hoof does not land flat - you can have more wear coming off
the toe as an example. I have not ever had enough shoe left for a
reset(every 6 - 8 weeks), but I'd rarely reset metal shoes either. I have
pictures if you want. The ones I've used are Ground Control Horseshoes.
My farrier thinks they should have those lights in them like the kiddie
shoes. Wouldn't that be a sight on a dark night seeing these lights
twinkling around the pasture?
Jeanine

I am interested in people's views and experiences with plastic shoes (vs
pads maybe?) for horses who tend to get a bit foot sore from hard surfaces.
Especially anything about which brands might be good or not good with ponies
who have smaller feet.
Sometimes I wish my horses had wheels.
