My idea as well.....Thanks Gary

@michael konstantinovich bordwell what does that have to do with clipped shoes?

@michael konstantinovich bordwell I don’t know what country you are in but in this country the only shoes fitted without clips are aluminium race plates! I have never fitted a shoe in 42 years without a clip except for a rolled toe shoe.. in those 42 years I have never come across any sort of infection because of a clip and have only had a handful of cases of the horse treading on a clip from a twisted or lost shoe. If you want to make life difficult for yourself that’s upto you, I have found this job tough enough without hamstringing myself! As for the horses I shoe, it’s not upto me if they are shod or not, that is the clients choice for which I am employed.

@michael konstantinovich bordwell idiot!

@michael konstantinovich bordwell so I suppose you glue all your shoes on do you? If the like likelihood of a clip going into the foot frightens you what does the possibility of six nails going into the foot if it comes off do for you? You really are an arse if you think not using clips is so wonderful! Clips have been used for centuries with no ill effects you can’t justify your reasoning if you still nail them on, as I said, idiot! As a side note, the majority of those “hairy horses in mud” that you see in my videos are old horses that have already served a lifetime of work but have been kindly donated to our local grammar school pony club enabling children who would otherwise never be able to afford to have anything to do with horses to learn how to care for them, learn to ride and even compete at local shows in the summer. They may not be expensive competition animals but in my opinion serve a much more worthy cause!
