Surefootedness off-road with the Goodsmith

I'm a self-sufficient horse owner and my 22-year-old purebred Arabian mare lives in an open stable with my two other horses. The mare competed in endurance rides of up to 100 km until she was 19.
She has good hooves and always ran on synthetic shoes, with hoof boots, or barefoot.
For our ground conditions, going barefoot is almost impossible, and we also need hoof protection for my rides in the mountains.

I applied the glue-on shoes to my mare's front hooves as a test. The size 120 glue-on fit almost straight out of the box and only required minimal adjustment, including preparing the sides of the plates for better welding of the tabs. I flexed the heel landing point and the toe area a bit for comfortable "breakover and landing".
Welding on the tabs was very easy and holds rock solid.

The mare has been moving forward very loosely and relaxed ever since. She doesn't stumble and also has good grip on the ground. The flexibility in the heel area is very good for her, and the lightness of the glue-on is clearly comfortable.

Until now I was a bit sceptical about traction, and I judged the material to be too smooth, but so far I'm completely positively surprised.
Even on rock, the horse has good footing.
The glue-on handles gravel, stones and asphalt well. Wear is so minimal that it's not noticeable.
Also, no small stones have worked their way under the plate, even though I didn't apply any pad.
The little horse even goes forward happily on gravel and also on steep descents.

Cool product, your Goodsmith!!!
