vicka, this thread has been about racing horses in an ice rink. from the very beginning. It has never been about riding at home, standing in an icy paddock, normal things you do to improve traction for a normal riding horse. It has been about hurtling at top speed on a groomed glassy surface of frozen water. every time someone posts about it you object, using an example of a normal horse at home, which is like comparing my horses galloping at play in their field to the horses in the kentucky derby. Just fyi. Janice
