Ice grips/ shoes?

[somethingorother]

For both human and horse, i guess!

But mainly because i am looking at various shoe grips for myself and don't know which to go for. Any suggestions? I have looked at the yaktrax

or a different version meant more for black ice sort of conditions.

Are there any other useful sorts anyone has tried? Or home made alternatives?

I am determined not to be stopped from doing normal stuff by the snow and ice this year. I wore walking boots last winter which were great for the snow but not the ice.


If you have any tips for being able to still ride a shod horse in the snow, that would also be brilliant. Can't take his shoes off, he's only a part loan.

Cheers in advance, hot choccy to all with a choice of cinnamon, after eights, baileys or nutella melted in it

I bought me and my immediate family these last winter:

I would definitely recommend them. I wore them over my walking boots and felt much more stable.

sorry, no suggestions for your horse though!

eta. you do have to take them off when you drive or are walking on pavements etc without snow/ice but I got used to taking them on/off fairly quickly
