RE: [RC] [BarefootEnduranceHorses] Boots - Dolores ArsteI wanted to let this group know that we are now carrying the Dallmer Clog in the US. I've been using the Dallmer clog for awhile now. But, I must be honest to say that I have not done any rides in competition with them. I hope to this year. I needed a plan to be able to train barefoot or in boots and ride barefoot or in boots or with shoes depending on the terrain. And, since I have never done a ride in steel shoes including 100's Steel was not an option for me. Since when I rode in 100's I used the Mustad Nail-Shu on all four feet, I was looking for a boot that I could use if he lost one of these shoes. As some of you know, the Nail-Shu is pretty thick. For the last year and a half, I have been playing with various combinations. So, my plan is to go forward training barefoot, and using the Dallmer Clog and glued on NBS shoes or nailed on Mustad shoes when needed. I tried the Easy boot Epic and the Boa. But, one of my criteria is that my dressage horse had to go in whatever boot I chose as well as the distance horse. And in Epics and in the Boa he had too much flex in his pasterns and could not move well in them. And, easyboots would just fly off even following Karen's detailed instructions. Of course, for the dressage horse, the easy boot foam was not a viable option. I like the rolled toe and the ease of putting the boots on that the Dallmer provides. I like the open bottom when riding training or dressage. And, you can pad it for longer rides if you want to. I like the adjustable heel width too. I think this is one thing that makes it fit really, really well. The limiting factor on this is that I have to have a set of boots for each horse. One size does not fit all once you have adjusted the heel.
