Shoes take traction away unless you borium the bottoms.
Bare feet are the best traction. You can wrap some vet wrap around them, don't know how long it will last on a road. Does really well for schools and nursing homes.
Marty's always talking about Old Macs. I haven't seen a pair small enough for minis, but then I haven't been looking for a pair.
You can cut down a pair of race training plates, they're very soft metal and easy to work with.I would LOVE to be able to put a regular shoe on my minis. That, I find, is the ONLY downfall to driving them.
I would certainly do more driving if I didn't have to worry constantly about "gravelling" or bruising those little feet.
If you are packing the miles on any horse or pony, on gravel, you eventually do need shoes of some kind; either nail-on, glue-on, or pull-on.
