WTS Feedback from Sofia Sjoborg, 4* Event Rider for Sweden
“For years we struggled to keep our older horse sound. His suspensory was often flaring when he went up a level in eventing. About three years ago we tried WTS shoes to bring the breaking point further back and provide the best possible foot balance and thereby help the suspensory.
And ………..we have never looked back!
From previously having some difficulties at 3* level, now at 16 years old – he’s flying around 4*L level, looking and feeling better in his legs than ever before! Not only this but I can feel and see that he is so much more free in front - making his trot significantly bigger. It is truly amazing what these shoes have done for him.”
