red supra skytops King Fashion You‎

Strike Impact was full of himself this morning in a routine gallop, getting very excited when some workers came up behind him. Brett Zuver does gold supra skytops an outstanding job as his exercise rider, keeping Strikester under control. Brett, a former jockey, had his hands full today.
Brett has all the traits Pat looks for in an exercise rider: smart, knows how fast he’s going, strong - and light.

Meanwhile, Strike Impact got new shoes

supra skytops 2 Tuesday morning after training. His blacksmith is veteran horse-shoer Gary Churchman, son of the late trainer John Churchman. Gary is one of those horse-shoers who doesn’t get caught up in gimmicks, just trimming and shoeing according to the angles nature gave the horse.

He was telling me how he applauds black supra skytops Churchill’s policy on shoes, where horses racing on turf can still wear the tiny toe grabs (the little rim at the top of the horse shoe that helps a horse get traction) permitted for dirt racing here. That means you don’t have to reshoe the horse the morning of a race and he can race in the shoes that he trains in.

That’s important for a horse like Strike Impact, who has sort of shelly hoof walls and whom you wouldn’t want to shoe any more than necessary. (Horses typically get shod every 30 days as their hooves grow out.)
Gary said Ellis Park and Kentucky Downs also allow these little toe rims (which have like a 2 millimeter maximum) on their turf.
Keeneland bans any kind of  red supra skytops raction device on front shoes. That’s because of a study out of California that correlated injuries in horses to toe grabs.
(That’s something some horsemen and blacksmith counter with their own personal experience that not having toe grabs can lead to other injuries. In fact, Turfway Park changed its policy after many complaints from horsemen.)
