Yes, no way of knowing. . . But the point remains: Why take risks with one's horse that you don't have to? Intentionally riding on a slick surface with fast turns with grabbing icenails is being foolhardy with one's horse. Sorry, but it is. Frankly, I'm just astounded that folks are even trying to weigh how bad it *might* be, or defending it. . . It should be a no-brainer in my mind. Oh well. I'm done trying to talk sense into 'yall. Take your horses sky diving. ; ) -- Renee M. in Michigan
