I wanted the blue. I guess the orange ones
are okay though...
Too bad - it would be fun to have
matching jelly shoes for the rest of the tack.... Orange is not
my color!
I wasn't to crazed about the velcro
either.
I think that these boots could be fun for those
horses under light work and are newly barefooted. Not sure that I would
rely on them in an endurance ride, although I have to admit that I've broken
Easyboot buckles on a ride more than once! (But they didn't fall off
either despite that.)
Different topic re: Easyboots and hocks. (I guess I
should get off of digest and go to individual posts...) I bet the two
aren't related! I have done a few 50's up until a few years ago (shod),
had my horse's hocks x-rayed and there were some "changes" and injections were
recommended. I decided not to do endurance for awhile and had my horse
barefoot because we were just dinking around (mostly because my brain was fried
from career stuff). I put shoes one for half a year last year and his
heels got real contracted, so I had the shoes pulled. He's barefoot now
and I've completed 30 miler in Easyboot Epics. I then tried to do a
50 in Epics in May but he was pulled at 35 miles for
lameness. I honestly don't think that it was the Easyboots - I think there
were other issues besides that, and I decided that he's going to be retired from
endurance because lack of money and time to micromanage him. He's
still my trail buddy and will probably be barefoot the rest of his life.
I'll just have to get my ding-dong Bey Shah horse
sane enough to do endurance! He's the one that's driving me to do
Parelli.
