Veteran Posts: 113 Location: Tx	Tell me about your "long term" experience with them? I will possibly be adopting a horse that retired from the track with one. This was 2 years ago. Anything I need to know now, since he has already had time off and been started retraining to be adopted out? When I say "retraining" I mean basics and desensitizing, no hard work.

Regular Posts: 56	My off the track Standardbred bowed a tendon many years ago. He recovered and went back to the track and raced for several more years. I adopted him a couple months ago after his last career race as a 12 year old. I trail ride him now and he is completely sound. He needed corrective shoes for racing but I trail ride him barefoot without any issues.
