Dear Leslie,
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how pleased I am with the Marathon and Hippoplast shoes that we've been using on our draft-cross Premarin rescue horses for the last three years. The sizes have worked well for their larger size hooves. We do alot of trail riding in the Sierras for pleasure and we are also members of the El Dorado County Search and Rescue mounted team, so we cover alot of rocky trails and slippery granite. We love the fact that our horses have traction on granite and pavement while other horses are practically "ice-skating" on slick surfaces wearing metal shoes.
Last year we started taking our Percheron youngster out on the trails, this year at four years of age we had him on the trails preparing him for his search and rescue qualification. Considering that he weighs about 2000 pounds and we'd be on rough terrain, we were curious to see how the Big-Foot shoes would hold up. The shoes are so durable that he actually wore the same pair through two shoeings. I 'd also like to add that his hooves have never been more healthy. Those of us who have adopted Premarin horses, most of them full-draft or draft-cross appreciate that Hoof-It makes the larger size shoes.
Many Thanks and Happy Trails,
Lisa and Brian Warner
