Slippery with something on them to try and stop them

This works ok, of course ice is always slippery, but I
think they can feel the ground better and hooves
aren't really as slick as metal on ice, plus the great
part is that a nice hard frozen ground can help to
wear the hooves naturally. I am still waiting for
this, I think it's a good thing.
