: : : A racehorse is working sound in natural balance shoes but cannot race in them. Do you make a light aluminium plate that would go straight onto her shaped foot? It would need to be legal for her to race in. If not, what can you suggest?
: : Although your horse could be changed to the "world racing plates". which have the same principles as the Natural Balance shoes, but added traction. There ARE horses racing in the NBS, out here aty Golden Gate Fields, and Bay Meadows racetracks. If he is working in them, and doing well, why not try running him in them? Patty
: Thank you for your reply. I will make more enquiries as to racing in NBS here in Australia. I will also follow up on 'world racing plates.' Thank you for your information. Annette
Hi to the team..With Annette question being an Australian Farrier she can try depending on which state the rules are different, talk to the racing stewarts also if her farrier is register he may try . Hope this may help talk to later.
