My name is Barbara Coughlin and I own an 18 hand Percheron named Colonel. I show Colonel in an A rated show Circuit in New Hampshire and Mass and Maine and have been very successful winning our share of blues and enjoying the showing etc. My horse is very comfortable in your plastic composite shoes and I have had no lameness or soreness since I have been using your shoes. Approximately 2 years ago I noticed that my horse seemed sore in his front feet and decided to have him Xrayed. The Xrays confirmed that he has sidebone in both of his front feet. I immediately started doing research on what type of shoes would be most comfortable for him and decided on the Hoof-It Technology shoes. I have your shoes on him all year except for the winter time and he is very happy!!!
