The important thing is that you are pleased with the outcome. Some of the machines you see will be too nice to work and enjoy, others just look presentable; those are the ones who's owners are smiling!

what is the sand paper like running board stuff called?

I read here that somebody went the a slate board shop for the grip strip material you are looking for.  Another place to look is a store that handles industrial safety products. I can't help you more than that. I've been following your progress.  Keep up the good work.

It is called "Skid Guard" and you can buy it from Ace Hardware, Lowe's, Home Depot and others.

What happened to the pics?  I just saw you're starting a 400.  I'd like to see pics of rusty completed.

with a few stall mates, the front tire on the c-160 is about the same size as the back on rusty. she is on wagon and riding around duty

i was just coming over to put some pictures in. i have other pictures but i can't find them. she has a name tag so the other horses could get to know her
