Shoes
What do most of ya'll use on your mountain horse/mule heeled shoes or flat shoes?
Re: Shoes
I use flat shoes, but I don't hunt where I need chains.

Re: Shoes
Flat on the front and none on the back for now..... I've been wanting to try some borium (sp) I've had one mule already go down a couple times. Maybe he's just clumsy..
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Re: Shoes
The mules go naked. The horses have flat on all fours. I'm not a fan of toe and heals. One other thing I would like to mention. I won't make it a habit of shoeing just the fronts. If you going to shoe one or the other, do the backs.

Re: Shoes
I know I'm gonna hear it over this one but I aint gonna beat around the bush here, I'm just gonna say it. You fellas that claim a saddle horse can go barefoot are full of the proverbial shit.

Re: Shoes
I agree, there ain't a horse alive that'll go far without shoes. I use toe and heels with borium, never tried drill tech, might have to. Does it go on just like borium? Anyone ever tried the carbide tipped nails?
