jembo 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I don't think it makes a difference, one of mine has all black pads and he gets stung and sore just as much as the one with white/pink pads. I have had horses with white hooves also never caused any problems with or without shoes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
