Raven, depending on how much riding you plan to do, either the Old Mac 
G2 or Boas might work well for you.  Boy, I sure sound like an easycare 
rep.  John, I'm not!!!  Either of those is much easier to put on.  I 
know the company doesn't recommend either for endurance, but what the 
heck, it wouldn't hurt to try if the boots are what your hands can deal 
with.
BTW, I only use vet wrap at rides.  Karen Chaton has found that she 
doesn't even need to use it at rides.  The shape of the horse's hoof and 
pastern, the way the horse travels and how well adjusted the boot is all 
enter into how important the vet wrap protection is.
