You should try them first...the reason for trimming the back is if your horse's heel bulbs bruise. Some do, some don't. It depends on the shape of the foot. I have to trim.

 

 

Good luck.

Subject: [RC] trimming easy boot epics

 

I'm getting ready to experiment with Epics for my horse. There is tons of

great information written by Karen on easycares site. What I'm trying to

determine is if I should trim the back of the boot/heel strap as suggested

in Karen's directions, or if that is only necessary for standard easy boots

without the gaitor. I can't determine if the trimming is recommended just to

decrease the risk of the horse pulling a boot (which would be negated by the

gaitor that covers that same area), or also to reduce the chance of rubbing.
