That said, Karen, I do remember Nina Warren saying she put
bathroom calking under splint boots to prevent rubs. I'm betting she used
latex. I know it was white because she said everyone just thought it was
desitin.
Did this work? I ask because my horses need splint
guards to prevent nicking their legs, but then get rub marks from the splint
guards. I'd considered a sock underneath, which a vet had suggested to my
neighbor with the same problem, but they'd get wet, hold dirt, etc. I was
also considering using just a small piece of duct tape (it comes in nice colors
now!) just to cover the "spot" that gets nicked. What do you think?
