Goodsmith with barefoot intervals

Our Icelandic horse (8 years old) has healthy bare hooves and is kept in an open stable with an adjoining gravelled trail. Along it there are various hay racks and a small water access. He lives here with seven other horses and, due to his age and the conditions, is very active, which is more or less visible on his hooves depending on the season and ground conditions. We mostly work in the arena but also in the surrounding terrain, and occasionally on trail courses.

The Goodsmith were applied to the front hooves and it took no longer than an hour. After now the third application, I can say — everything holds wonderfully and the plates appear to be usable for a long time as wear has been comparatively minimal so far.
Our Icelandic horse walks more confidently over difficult, stony ground with them, and his somewhat over-built conformation could also be balanced out.
The Goodsmith will gladly be used in future as an option for difficult barefoot ground conditions; it is uncomplicated and the price-performance ratio is fair. What stood out particularly positively is that the "Goodies" are so nice and light and can be perfectly adapted to the given hoof shape and specific health considerations.
We will alternate the gluing with barefoot intervals — great that this alternative is available on the market.
