in the winter my farrier puts pads on my pulling horse to keep the snow balls out of her feet. the pads work really well for this purpose and have the added benefit of protecting the feet from rocks. to prevent stuff from going up inside the pad, he squirts silicon gel in between the sole and the pad which gives it a cushy barrier that will not let debris inside. I'm not sure what affect this has on the foot if the horse is used in a sport that causes lots of pounding, but it works great for our needs. Janet
