My 1st horse had been on the big lick circuit, and was just down off pads when I bought him. I kept him barefoot on the back, toe weights up front; just enough for a little lift to clear the rear hooves...he had a pronounced overstride. No chains, no rollers, no nothing except the toe weighted shoes, but he'd put on a show if I asked him to, which I occasionally did, because I knew he'd turn heads.
Unfortunately, I only had him 18 months. He took on a Chevette on a stormy night on Rte. 57, in southern IL; he lost.

Oh mann... I bet he was a looker. I am sure it takes a while to bring em down off those weighted shoes without messin with their tendons.

They are doing that in the Draft horse arena now.... :hit started with scotch bottoms those yougsters are put in shoes if they are shown halter... But the big feet are grown out till they are huge plat forms filld with bondo most times because it cracs and chips.

Draft horse show feet are about one and a half again longer than normal feet... I have seen them with beads and ankle chains and bungees as well....
