For those of us with horses living in areas of the country with
persistent wet seasons, it seems as if the rain and mud will never end.
Goodbye to those pastoral scenes with lush green meadows and welcome to
the mud & swamps of Spring. Worse yet, welcome to an ongoing challenge to
keep shoes on your horse, particularly if the horse has cracked, broken,
brittle, shelly or damaged hoof walls.
Sound Horse products have
been used on horses in wet & muddy conditions for years with great
success. We know that they work because we use them year round on our own
horses. We are located in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area and our
horses are typically turned out 24/7 on a year round basis. The Sound
Horse Sigafoos Series I horseshoes are used on all of
our competition horses… not only do they stay on -- but they stay on
until you decide to take them off!
Red Mystic, pictured
above, is a 3-day event horse. The picture here shows her in the March mud
and the conditions of her shoes after nine (9) weeks. She has a relatively
slow growing hoof.
When it is time for Red Mystic to be reshod, we take
her out of the paddock and into the barn for a clean-up and shoeing. These
pictures clearly show what the our Series I shoe looks like after
9 weeks on the hoof with a typical 24/7 turn-out and daily
training.
