It is a shoe made form Poly material, it comes in clear or black, the
clear is better as you can see through the shoe to nail, which is
really nice. It has a support across the back and up through the
middle of the frog so that the frog still has contact....
If you can not do barefoot, this a great shoe! They last as long as
a steel shoe, and you can feel the difference as a rider, imagine how
the horse feels.
Its like going from wearing a steel toe boot to cushy air
nikes....they are great shoes for parades...far better than putting
in studs, as some people do......
We highly recomend the shoes to our clients, and now are using a case
and a half a month between the horses we own and our clients.....
You do not get the really cool sound on asphalt tolting in a group
though.....oh well........much better for the horses.
