Are we talking about riding on ice? I would really avoid that, I won't even ride in heavy mud. We have some really good mud around here and the 14 year old girl where I board was riding her barefoot horse in the mud, on hills and the horse fell and somehow kicked her in the eye. She was just mad because she didn't even get a black eye:) Really though, you can't avoid all ice and mud in the pasture, impossible, but I'd rather not ride in no matter what kind of shoes or studs, it if I can avoid it at all, especially ice.
