Oh, I just wanted you to know too, that I've made a hard copy of the trimming and shoeing section on those NB Shoes. The more I read and learn about them the more they just make sense to me. Like the difference I would feel if I went on a 5 mile hike in a pair of Keds vs. Nike's. They just seem like they would be sooooo much better for the horse as a whole.
I'm going to call Chris next week and have a chat with him about them. I want to know why he said Harley didn't "need" them, and what the difference in cost will be to put those on.
I also finally (I hesitate to start getting to many opinions, just gets confusing) asked on the Natrc site if any one there heard about/uses them. There is a farrier over there that from everything I've heard at the rides he's pretty good. He competes all the time, and posts every day over there. I hope he reads my post about the NB shoes, and says if he has heard of them.
Anyway, unless I get alot of negative feed back, I'm probably going to get Chris to put them on next time. I'm going to have my printout in hand and ask him to go over each step with me, "just so I know" :). I want to make sure he knows how to do it, and not just nailing them one any ole way.

Have you had a chance to watch any of the NB Hoofcare Corner on the Dennis Reis show on RFDTV that I told you about?
