I'm curious too. Nearly every where I run is 1.5 hour (or more) drive on some crummy Oklahoma roads.
Man... we must live near each other because its the same here. I'm excited when a race is only an hour away. How long do they last before they have to be replaced?

I've had mine for a year now so I can't say how long they will last but I know mine have held up great for that period of time.

I haul in softrides quite a bit. I have one mare who used to paw quite a lot on the trailer. She doesn't do it with them on. My horses are pretty used to hauling anywhere from 2.5 to as many as 8 hours, hopping off the trailer and making a run. I find that they feel better to me having made those hauls with the Softrides.

Do you guys just do fronts, or all 4?
I have some horses that get all four and some that just get fronts. I only have so many pair, so they go to the good horses all around and the colts get what's left in order of which one is working the best at that time.
