My horse Skjoldur wore Easyboots on all fours this summer.  He wore out a lot 
of them but they worked well to protect his feet and reduce concussion.  The 
Old Macs I saw didn't last through one ride.  If I had been aware of 
something that worked better than Easyboots I would have used it.  I guess 
the proof is in the pudding.
