i saw an article about toe grabs and their evils a few weeks ago...makes you wonder why everyone doesn't do away with them...

also, about shoeing...what about glue on shoes? i know they've been used on some horses due to hoof problems, are they a viable alternative? i would think if you don't have anything to correct that you could just use those, right?
I like them for horses with bad feet, but they are VERY expensive and need to be changed frequently....they're not really economical for anything other than top allowance and stakes horses....
