Re: [RC] Boots and vetting in - long - Pam DeMerchant

Some of us don't have rocks at home to "train with".  That may be why Jessica put the boots on in the first place.

Jessica. If your horse is that ouchy on gravel or rocks getting to the vc,how would you fit him up for riding? Do you use boots every time you ride?
 
I have a mare who is barefoot and I've got a shod horse. I do what's right for each horse. I train my mare on gravel roads and on rocky terrain. If she starts getting ouchy, we'll have to do something different, or if I start riding more miles than her hooves can rebuild, we'll do something.
 
but if she was ouchy walking to the VC, I'd certainly rethink my strategy with that horse!
