Re: RC: interference boots

["beth glover" <bgloverhrsewmn@hotmail.com>]

Hi Karma and Ridecamp: Are you guys talking about bells or splints? I have 
Professional choice sports medicine splint boots, which I don't use that 
much except in arena work. I've ridden a lot of NATRC and they don't allow 
any type of boot or wrap, so I just never did get in the habit.  Now we rode 
in Tevis and my horse cut her hind leg  with a slight puncture so we had to 
pull.  She healed nicely without any problems, but I felt bad that I didn't 
have boots on, thinking they MAY have protected her leg.  But I don't think 
the Sport's medicine boots are going to be right because they are so heavy, 
and tricky to get on and off. I was worried about getting them off quick to 
check her legs in case of sand getting in there.  I got myself a set of 
Farnam Proequine simple splint boots (4) to try and so far they seem nice.  
I'm still in a quandry about when to put them on and off during a ride like 
Tevis. (Off for the bogs? On for the Canyons? Off for the river crossing?) 
Any ideas? Beth

<< I think I need to invest in a pair of overreach boots. What kind rub the
  least and where do I get them? Also my friend's horse needs interference
  boots for his rear fetlocks. >>

Hi Shelly,
I like the Professional's Choice brand. I've had very little trouble with
losing them and they clean up real easily:-) Karma
