RE: [SPAM] [RC] The Science of Sport Boots...please READ! - heidi

Hope everyone learned a little when reading this, let  me know what you 
think??
Personally I am thinking about trying them out in  Endurance.


I saw data presented somewhere (AAEP, possibly?) that indicated that the
effectiveness of the sports boots is almost completely gone after about
20-30 minutes.  If memory serves, the thought was that perhaps with
repeated motion, the boots loosen just a tad.  So their efficacy on
endurance horses is doubtful.

Additionally, I'm not willing to put something on a normal horse's legs
that holds in heat.  If a horse has a specific need, that's one
thing--but to subject a fit horse that doesn't need help to something
like that is not something I'm willing to do.
