Scuds, I have to disagree with you. I have yet to see one solid statistic that proves that synthetics are safer than dirt. Horses have been running on dirt for thousands of years, it is natural. Just like we cannot make a real substitute for grass, I can't buy that synthetics are safer because the people who profit off of it say so. In actuality, what I have heard more often is that the injuries on horses tend to occur on different spots on the horse than on dirt, but are not necessarily reduced.
