[pct-l] Shoes



Unshod horse's feet wear at a very rapid rate when you add a rider and
saddle. Indian horses were broken down by the age of 6-7 and now we expect
our horses to last for 20 years. Part of that difference is adequate foot
care.
The science of keeping a horse sound for that many miles and having them
able to repeat long trips year after year requires a great deal of
sophistication in shoeing methods and shoe types. Not unlike preparing
yourself for a thru-hike.
Crest Rider, your shoer is right. Go for the tungsten carbide.
