RE: RC: Old Mac Horse Boots

[CorrineOsborne@email.com]

Only thing I can see is that maybe there will be rubbing in the pastern area related to how high up the 'cover' portion comes.  Wasn't that an issue with the easy boot that the addressed with the new improved model.  And, it looks like the toe has a point on it in the center of it which would lead me to believe that it would cause a delay in breakover.  Have you noticed any of these things when using them.  Probably not since you say you and the horse are getting along fine.  

Pretty pricy too...but then again, lots of times you get what you pay for too!
