Being a professional farrier, I use this combination on many riding horses that are ridden in the snow/ice as well as on rocky terrain. The traction allows the horse to be ridden with more confidence with a “sure footed” gait. I have had great results with borium shoes purchased from The Blacksmith Shop in VA (www.theblacksmithshop.net). These borium shoes are guaranteed and will last muck longer than flat shoes. Good Luck!

I have never had to deal with special winter shoeing, but it makes perfect sense. I would have no idea where to begin with choosing winter footwear!
