front shoes never need toe grabs on any surface, on poly no toe grabs are needed front or hind. on dirt track the horses should have toe grabs on the hinds. on turf no toe grabs are needed.

whats done is done but from what i understand BB worked 3/4 mile on the grass barefoot. i have been a farrier for over 30 years and if this horse was on my book he certainly wouldn't be training barefoot after all the patching he's had this year. them old 1/4 cracks drilled out and dried out surely ...
