Well, they look pretty good to me, for whatever I know ;~D

What's interesting to me is that Cyn's foot is naturally sortof square in the front, like those shoes are.

I find it amazing that everyone says that a barefoot horse's foot will be squared off like that. How/why in the world did the traditional shoeing develop how it did then???

Another good point I learned today. I only have to pay the extra $15 whenever he has to use a new pair of shoes. If I get a reset out of them, the price goes back to what I was paying:). He said with the beveled edge these shoes don't wear out as fast as the old one:). During the summer I usually don't get a reset out of a set of shoes, so I'm hoping he's right about that:)

LOL....I guess I've found another religion to believe in:). I was just thinking again about this post of yours, and wondering. Just think about the way a regular shaped shoe is going to make the horse move, vs. putting one on that is squared off....Good heavens, it's going to make moving so much more effortless, IMO, or am I nuts like Mack says:). IMO, now, it's no wonder horses develop so many foot problems the way those shoes are shaped. Totally wrong, bound t put pressure on things that shouldn't have pressure on them.
