Fw: [RC] Reason for shoeing-Allisa Norman - Karen Lynd----- Original Message ---- From: "Thekids18049@xxxxxxx" <Thekids18049@xxxxxxx> To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 12:53:04 AM Subject: [RC] Reason for shoeing-Allisa Norman Something that may have happened was I was making the boots very very tight. Maybe I was making them a little too tight? Or maybe something came out that wasn't showing with him being shod continuously?

Question for easyboot users - have you ever put an easyboot on too tight? I didn't think that was possible, but last year my gelding threw a shoe in an LD. I put an easboot on him immediately (the boot fits him well), but he was head bobbing lame. I got off and walked him back to camp. On the walk back he got progressively lamer and then stopped and held his foot up. I loosened the easyboot and that took care of most of the problem. He was still off a little, but no where near as lame as he had just been. He was fine the next day. I gave him a week off anyway. I use my easyboots often because he almost always pulls a shoe at 5 or 6 weeks (he alternates which foot he pulls the shoe from), and I have not had problems with the easy boots before or since.
