[RC] Easyboots too tight - k s swigartKaren Lynd said: Question for easyboot users - have you ever put an easyboot on too tight? I didn't think that was possible, Yes, it is possible to put easyboots on too tight and I have done it. After standing overnight in them after the first day of the Rocky Mountain ride by horse was quite lame. I pulled his easy boots and took him home. When he got of the trailer when we got home he was no longer lame, but he did have bruises (white feet) on the SIDES of his hoof walls just behind where the clamps go that were the same width as the heel strap of the boots...and had stripes just like the ribs of the heel straps. On another horse, I have had the horse start stomping her feet and complaining about two hours after I put the easyboots on, and she quit doing so the instant I loosened them. In neither of these instances was it because the heel strap came up on the heel bulb. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
