Thought I would jump in here and tell
people just starting with easy boots ( or whatever boots ) that it DOES
get EASIER!!! :-) I spent my first year with them swearing as I got them
on my horse and my daughter's horse for a ride- it was the worse part of
the day. However I can now get them on in about 20 seconds ( thirty if
I have a beer in hand .....have to electrolyte the rider you know!! ;-)
)) It has become no big deal- so persevere it will not always be such a
pain!! 


P.S> A question for people who boot
on all 4 feet  ( I have never booted the rear but plan on it for our
first 75 mile ride in August.) is it as simple as the front feet? Should
I take extra precautions like duct taping the hoof first??? And also- if
I boot the night before ( not being a morning person the idea of having
to duct tape AND boot all four hooves before a ride is a bit daunting)will
the boot get looser or anything during the night??

Thanks
