3 shoes and a show tomorrow??

[MissyMew]

My horse has lost a shoe and I was supposed to go to a comp tomorrow (prelim dressage).
I have decided not to go due to loss of shoe. However the people I was meeting up with are trying to tell me it's fine, your riding on a surface, only one test ect.

I am sticking to my instincts on this as I think it's wrong, don't really understand why they are pressuring me? I am disappointed not to be going, but there will be another day.

What do other people do?

Front or back?

Jumping I would not be going. Dressage on my big lad on surface if it was front shoe I wouldn't go back shoe I would as he was sound unsold behind on all but gravel, little coblet dressage we'd go.

Blooming predictive. That should be he was sound unshod behind!

 

[MissyMew]

Front.

I wouldn't for the sake of one show, but equally I do know people who would.
