Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] Ground Control shoes - Faustina Duffy
Hmmm...now I'm having a brain fart-I remember one shoe that "required" the
metal shoes to help keep them on, but I'm darned if I can think of which it
was-sorry 'bout that, ya'll!
Boa Boots are designed for barefoot too. We compete in
50's with them. Just take them off at the lunch stop and check them and
clean them. They do well in everything but sand.

Not sure,
but I think she meant, why not put the easyboots on over bare feet-they're not
like the Boa boots (designed only for "overshoe"
use. ----- Original Message ----- From:

>So, I guess my
question was if you're using the easyboots, why >use
the metal shoes, too? Ooooh that is a loaded question
:^). If my horses lived in pasture year around, they
could probably stay barefoot, but since they don't, it's
easier to keep shoes on them than it is to fight their unnatural
living conditions at home. Chief could probably pull off
going barefoot and competing to a certain degree. My
older horses couldn't, as we have tried and one will grow
pancakes and the other would probably end up with an injury
from the club foot/low heel issues he has. I don't need to go
so far as to make my horse lame trying to prove that he can go
barefoot when I am competing on them so much, I have seen too
many hurt horses over the years from people who have tried it
and failed and don't compete as much as I do, and I do a lot
of rides that are really really rocky. Gawd I hope this
doesn't start people arguing over barefeet!!!!!!
