Una,
I sent of the post about the glass before correcting the spelling. Hold it if you have not already sent it out. I will send another corrected version.
Thanks.
Lois

An equestrian forum I follow recently has been talking about broken glass bottles as a potential cause of punctured hooves and cut fetlocks. This is common roadside trash.
What has been your experience?
Do you refuse search tasks that involve riding in areas with trash underfoot? Do you use hoof boots? Do you worry (or not) about your horse stepping on glass? What other kinds of trash are a concern?
