wow thats unreal about them causing more shock! amazing! one thing i saw that was interesting... susan at saddleup tack (www.saddleuptack.com) has some footpads for sale. They are something new to me, and I wonder what they are for. do they go on before you put the shoes on or do you affix them on barefoot foundered horses or what?? Have you ever seen them? There are different thicknesses. Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
