everything i have is barefoot..but when i had shoes on it was rims all around and i have used the pleasure plates on a couple (just on the back and rims on the front)
Was working all summer in Aluminum rims but with the growth of my 3yo, she's in between an 0 and a 00 sooo we set with steel shoes from the EU that are metric sized. Fit great and she's moving out real nicely :) The older finished awesome mare is working in the st croix ultra lite rims ... Love the way they hold up and work for her.

What is the difference between the eventer and a rim? The rims I have been using are beveled for a nice breakover and I haven't had issues with support ... I'm curious and haven't ever used an eventer shoe. How do they support more/better?
All of mine are barefoot except my rodeo horse, and he is wearing an aluminum rockered 2 degree wedge shoe (fronts only) to overcome a long toe, low heel.
