They are easy to put on. No vet wrap or duct tape or foam is needed.
It is just the first time, when they are brand new and stiff, you have to 
wiggle the boot on to get the toe seated all the way in, and you have to 
decide how tight you want the Easy Boot cable, and which notch in the latch 
to put the cable. If you have never used an easy boot on that horse before, 
the first time you use them will be trial and error to find the best 
setting. Once you know the adjustment you need, you don't have to guess in 
the future.

Taking them off just involves getting the cotter pin out (if you used one), 
and maybe a hoof pick to lift the latch.

 Except for the cotter pins, the boot is
easily put on and off on the trail, and they stow in the normal Easy Boot
cantle bag.

Also, someone e-mailed me that she finished the LD with Boa Boots on front
and barefoot on back and had no problems.

Hi Terry, I am still confused from an earlier post that said the boots were
a piece
of cake to put on (in the dark), etc.

If it is basically the same thing, just with a gaiter, don't you have to go
through the whole
darn cramming them on (for me this involved vet wrap around hoof, rubber
mallet to hammer
boot on tight from toe area....wrapping cable extra tight, and then stepping
down on latch with
all my weight.....

Aren't these going to be the same process to put on?

Karen
