Razer vs Racing Plate
While we wish our horses could remain barefoot all the time, hauling and rough terrain often requires the need for protection. After all, we wouldn’t expect you to go on a hike without the equipment to make it an enjoyable venture.
If your horse only needs wear protection and traction, Razer shoes are an excellent alternative to traditional steel shoes. When applied as suggested, Razer shoes hold up and wear the same length of time as a traditional steel shoe, but offer much more natural hoof movement and function as well as excellent traction.
When riding on rocky ground, our technical advisors suggest using a combination of Razer horseshoes and Propads. Because the shoe’s low profile doesn’t offer the protection that a taller shoe offers, using hoof pads will still allow your horse to have barefoot function while offering the protection to keep you traveling down the trail in almost any situation.
The life expectancy of Propads is incomparable, as they can be reset multiple times due to

their high quality polyurethane material. We suggest either keeping them as a full pad with packing material to provide extra sole protection while on rocky terrain, or the cutting the center out to allow for air flow and easy cleaning of the hoof.
Extremely versatile, Propads can be used with any open heel shoe. Should you decide to go with a different horseshoe, Propads will not only make your horse more comfortable, but increase proper weight distribution and blood flow.
Overall, Razer horseshoes and Propads offer a sound solution for equipping your trail horse. In the end, we can all agree that when your horse is happy, everyone is sure to have a more enjoyable experience! offer a sound solution for equipping your trail horse.
