Here's some nostalgia for ya. Back in 1977 I bought a full set of 4
easyboots for $68. back then they came with a little nylon loop that went
around the heel strap and attached to a bracelet type nylon piece with a
buckle that went around the horse's leg. Then when the boot fell off it
kinda flopped along and if your horse didn't bolt over the next ridge,
you could get off and put it back on.  Problem was my horse stepped on it
while she was dragging it and bent the buckles on the boot damaging it. 
How is the gator an improvement on the old buckle on system?  I have
actually tied surveyer flagging to the boot and to my horse's leg
(loosely) hoping it would stay with him long enough for me to know it
came off but break if he paniced. Since Kaboot never lost easyboots I
never found out how well it worked.
