Heller Rasps History
Winter conditions mostly give hard and slippery surfaces for the horse to walk on. Snow, ice and frozen ground are the factors that you have to participate on. The first step to prevent slipping is adding 2 widia pins to the heels of the front and hind shoes.
The Mustad LiBero, Equi-librium Air, DynaMic and LiBero Equi-Librium horseshoes are suggested options for 'All Weather' conditions.
Grip should be optimised on pavement/tarmac as a steel shoe can be very slippy on these types of surfaces. Also they can be very hard on the shoes wearing them out prematurely.

Harness racing (Trotting) is a form of horse racing in which the horses race at a specific gait (a trot or a pace). They usually pull a two-wheeled cart called a sulky.

Loose surface and very uneven. Things to consider: bruising and puncture wounds are common, twisting of the limbs due to uneven ground.
wet hoof capsules become very soft and malleable
Indoor surfaces often require a wide webbed horseshoe.
