I'm going to assume that I forgot to hit the post button in my previous response on this topic.

IMO(and the opinion of many horse people)this is cruel, barbaric and unnecessary. However, if they insist upon doing this I hope they set giudelines for the well-being of the horses. I hope they have a cutoff on the allowable temperature, proper shoeing for pavement pounding and not have the same horses doing it both days.

I wouldn't assume they love doing it, horses are like big dogs, they do things out of trust and love whether it's warranted or not.

I would pay $10 to see a person pulling the loaded trailer.
