The only thing we bought at the convention was for
our non--endurance horse ... my husband's big Belgian/TB cross who doesn't get
out much and thinks 5 miles is an endurance ride. She takes a size 3. I thought
it would be a 4 but they thought a 3. They were right! They were so easy to put
on and I think she loved them. We did some trotting and a fast lope at
one point and they look like they fit her really well.
She gets owie just on a 5-mile ride because the
places we take her that are a little flatter (she had a torn suspensory almost
two years ago) and it's gravel fire road. Since we don't put shoes on her front
feet (she gets eggbars on the back because of the torn suspensory and very poor
conformation) these will be great for her. They'll last forever since she only
gets out about 10 times a year. Way cheaper than putting shoes on her all the
time which we just can't justify with the little bit that she gets
ridden.
Boy, were they easy to put on and take off! Wish I
could use them on the endurance horses ...
