Sir William:
I thought teflon was ultra slick so that stuff doesn't stick to it, just slide off.  How did it work for your horse, Sir John?

It's a bit strange to think about, but it works, just in "reverse" from most normal thoughts - the teflon will keep ice from sticking to horse's feet and causing him to slide around. The weight of the horse will generally keep him planted in the snow just fine. It's a "dirty little secret" for stuff like snow shovels and snow blowers. ;)

Sir William:
Well, well...I learned something new!  Thanks.

Sir John of Felsenbau:
It worked great...it was made loke treads on a snow tire, so that it digs into the ice and snow.

Sir John
