So your horses move better, huh? I gotta say, I'm not totally sold on aluminum being a game-changer. Sure, aluminum is lighter, but draft horses are built to carry weight. Is a few pounds really going to make or break their day? Like willowadams said, heat might be different, but how often are your horses on burning roads anyway? You admit the shoes wear faster, so more resetting sounds like extra work and cost. Maybe it helps, but I doubt it's that serious when steel has done the job forever. If your Belgians are happy, fine, but I'll stick with what works.

My old VCR taught me more about PATIENCE than any manual, right @reeses12?

Does this happen more often in jobs where people are pushed to meet tight deadlines? I've noticed delivery drivers and warehouse workers seem under constant pressure to hurry, which can't be good for safety. What other fields have you seen this speed-over-care problem become a normal part of the day?
