> Gawd I hope this doesn't start people arguing over barefeet!!!!!!
LOL!  I wasn't trying to start the barefoot argument, by any means.
I was just curious about the double-duty of using shoes AND 
easyboots. :)

I'm by no means a barefoot fanatic.  I think it's great if a horse
CAN be barefoot, and not a crime if he/she can't and needs to wear
shoes.  I just personally don't care for metal shoes alone, but
my way of dealing with that -- for a horse who needs shoes but
doesn't have good enough feet for GCs -- has been metal shoes
and rim pads.  I'm just paranoid about concussion.  I know, I 
know, zillions of horses do fantastic with plain ol' keg shoes
right out of the box.  My own did for years.  Now I just like to
look for alternates.  I'm just weird. :)

And, for the stallion, he really looks like he can stay barefoot.
So, I'm just pondering the options of how to keep him that way, 
but protecting him on rocky rides (when he gets to that point).
