Grenville has recently been diagnosed with artheritis and a friend of mine said rubber shoes on her horse made the world of difference. Anyone know what they do and how much they cost? Any information would be great... Thanks :)

There's a thread in farriery and footcare on plastic shoes and a link to their site which might be worth looking at but haven't heard of rubber ones apart from the re-cycled tyre shoes Megan Lewis's horses wore in China!

Do the plastic shoes absorb impact too? I tried to look but my computer won't let me look on the link lol. I only know about the rubbers cos' of a friends mare but she couldn't tell me much about them other than the vet reccomended it so i was wondering if anyone else had info :). I don't want to pay for them (if they are expensive) and then find they make no difference.
