> Karen, what is the reason for putting them on over Ground Control shoes?

I like to be prepared, what can I say :+D.

I wanted to try them and see how they worked.  That way if I want to use 
them on a ride because I have a loose shoe or have lost a shoe, it won't be 
the first time I'm trying it on the horse.  The Boa website suggests not 
using the boots over metal shoes, so I thought "perfect", since Weaver has 
plastic shoes on right now, the timing could not be better!  I think these 
will be great during those months of the year where I pull shoes and still 
want to ride but can't pull them out of pasture without putting some form 
of hoof protection on them if I am planning on riding in rocky 
terrain.  These will be great for that.

I haven't yet had an opportunity to put easyboots on over the GC shoes to 
see how that works.  I wasn't sure it would/wouldn't, because of the flex 
on the back of the GC shoes.  That doesn't seem to be an issue with the Boa 
boots though.  I don't know if the GC shoes are going to work for all of my 
horses yet, so far only one has done any actual endurance rides in 
them.  It'll probably take a year to really 'know'.  Now as far as 
easyboots go, I know those work!  The Boa boots sure look like a great 
solution for a lot of people (or horses, rather).  They did a great job 
designing these.
