[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1851357, member: 42463"] I haven't seen them in a long time but someone used to make tire-like rubber shoes that you could put on instead of rubber pads under iron shoes. Metal shoes on pavement are an accident waiting to happen. They just don't have any grip. I had a horse go down on me with no warning because the slope on the road was just enough that her feet slipped out from under her. Thankfully she got right up and I stuck to her and we were both fine, but I learned something that day. A horse is better off barefoot on asphalt. [/QUOTE]
