I have a horse drawn carriage business in Nashville, Indiana and have been looking for something to help absorb some of the shock to my horses legs. I was serfing the web one day and came across your site. I was wondering if these type of shoes would uphold to this type of work. I have two percheron geldings who work at least 30 hrs. a week on the streets. My boyfriend is a farrier and has never herd of these shoes. I was curious if we could have a trial pair. My one percheron wears a size 8, and I didn't know if you even carry anything that big.
Thanks,
Hilary
Dear Hillary,
I shoe the carriage horses at
Cinderella Carriage Co. in downtown San Diego with these shoes. During the summer months we get 5 weeks from the shoes and during the winter months the shoes will last from 7 to 8 weeks.
The Bigfoot draft shoe is modeled after a Werkman size nine shoe and should fit your Percheron. The dimensions of the shoe are 7 7/8w x 8 1/4l. Measure your horses hoof to determine if it will fit.
This is the link to the shoe :
