Hi Tracy:  You may find this information 
useful:  http://ridephotos.tripod.com/  (easyboot articles are near the top 
of the page)

My advice would be to start out using the boots on the front feet until you 
and your horse are comfortable with them (i.e., fitting them, putting them 
on, keeping them on, etc.).  Then, try the backs. Good luck,
