[RC] Thinking of Switching To Boots? Read This First - Kevin Myers
We’re now seven weeks into the transition and it seems
like a good time to pause and review the high points of moving from steel shoes
to Easyboots. In this short amount of time, our four horses are all barefoot,
our boarder’s horse is now barefoot and many of our friends and neighbors
are barefoot or are just about to make the move. My horses’ feet look
healthier for it – I like the way the hoof is growing, the way angles are
changing and the way they move.
I have been watching barefoot riders for several years;
always thinking I would never be one of them; always thinking the transition
would require more of me than I was willing to offer. The points listed below
are based on my limited experience and may help make the prospect your
transition more palatable.
