I use flat shoes, but I don't hunt where I need chains.

Flat on the front and none on the back for now..... I've been wanting to try some borium (sp) I've had one mule already go down a couple times. Maybe he's just clumsy..

I agree on the drill tech thing too, Mike but mostly cuz I only know how to apply drill tech. HAHA! I aint never tried borium but I've also heard it aint as good.

The mules go naked. The horses have flat on all fours. I'm not a fan of toe and heals. One other thing I would like to mention. I won't make it a habit of shoeing just the fronts. If you going to shoe one or the other, do the backs.

I know I'm gonna hear it over this one but I aint gonna beat around the bush here, I'm just gonna say it. You fellas that claim a saddle horse can go barefoot are full of the proverbial shit.

I agree, there ain't a horse alive that'll go far without shoes. I use toe and heels with borium, never tried drill tech, might have to. Does it go on just like borium? Anyone ever tried the carbide tipped nails?

Ya I use the carbide nails I call them ice nails. They are quick to put in shoes that are already on the horse or mule. And if you can tack on a shoe you can put on the ice nails. They do not last like drillteck or borium. But you can put new ones on in a few minutes.
