A big influence on the surface


One example is a surface which is too firm making it easier for the rider to ride fast, and this in itself increases the load on the horse’s limbs. Observations have been made that horses that aren't used to working on a synthetic surface may trip in the beginning until they get used to it.

A wider webbed shoe will help the horse to stay on top of the surface. A rolled toe such as EQ helps break over for horses that are new to the surface. Make sure the surface is well maintained to prevent it from becoming too firm or uneven. 

Get as much information on the expected weather conditions and how soft or firm it is for the horse so you can adjust the shoe accordingly.
