Winter is coming and I am thinking about my horses feet on snow and ice. We plan to use them for sleighing and some light wood lot work through the winter but are adverse to shoeing them as they are barefoot and have real nice feet. I have though about studded boots as an option and wonder if anyone here uses them in winter and what thoughts you might have about them. Boots seem like a cost effective long range alternate to winter shoes for occasional uses if they work.
