I was interviewing Nina about when she owned Jedi and she told me the
story. She said that no matter what brush boots she used in the rear, 
they rubbed him. Said she had a barrel full of boots. Then one day she
had desitin all over her horse and a vet made the comment, "Oh, you
caulking him now?" and she thought..."hmmm". 

She said next time she washed his ankles well and put him in the trailer
for the ride and let them dry (don't remember if they dried before
loading or that's when she put on the caulk). Anyway, she started out
putting caulk on under the boots and eventually just discontinued the
boots and put a glob of caulking on instead.  I think it was Jody Buttram
told me she tried it after she read what I wrote and it wouldn't stay on.
I dunno. Never tried it myself. She said the vets & everybody always
thought it was Desitin and she didn't say otherwise.
