Ok, so I'm progressing in my knowledge and in TWH's. As you know I'm headed back east to take a look at some. A couple have bands on them. I'm just not familiar with the practice so I need to know the why's and where for's on bands. Please enlighten.
Thanks Ginger |

Just make sure there not to high. I got wrote up at a show for high bands. I was so mad. I'm new to showing. I try to play by the rules. The dqp ask if I was with someone. If I had been my bands would not have been to high. The next monday I got a flyer in the mail about bands. It was just salt in the wound. I just had my horse reset with no bands.

Ginger,
A lot of people keep bands on to protect the horses foot, ie stepping a shoe off. If you are still looking for a LS horse, you won't be allowed to show with bands. At least not with NHSC. Did you go to Nelm's barn and look at the black horse from SC? |

Do the bands have something to do with the shoe maybe being a little heavier than a plain old keg shoe or the angle of the hoof or both? ( I don't show)

We were banding the heavyer shoes. The new set has more holes so they work fine wothout the bands. There #2 plantations.
