Re: RC: more shoeing questions

Gosh you guys, now I feel guilty that my horses do so well with easyboots 
in all kinds of terrain and conditions.  We've done rides in all different 
kinds of mud and it's really almost like having 4 WD, same effect as having 
tires on a vehicle.  If we are slipping with easyboots on, then the horses 
without easyboots on are slipping WORSE.  Of course, that's just my 
experience and personally I won't go to rides if I know there is going to 
be a lot of mud.  The worst this year was Outlaw Trail.  All the horses 
were slipping, we had one heck of a time getting to 11,100'  that one 
day.  Coming down was also quite something.

Karen
& Rocky & Weaver....over 5600 miles with easyboots and not one fall in 
them! :+)
