If you are foaming the boots on, then you'll probably want to present the 
horse to the vet with the boots already on.  It really doesn't matter, it's 
really a matter of preference -- if you'd like the vets to get an idea of 
how your horse moves with the boots on.  For most one day rides I put the 
boots on the morning of the ride.  If it's a multiday or a 100 I'll 
probably have them foamed on and like to do it before I leave home.

Happy Trails,
