Hi Nancy!
It is sure hard getting that stuff out of their feet isnt' it? What I do
sometimes is throw easy boots on them, but I only do that because I'm going
to be riding them in the snow. I've tried spraying that "Pam" non-stick
cooking stuff on the bottom of their feet, and sure that works for awhile -
but after a few balls come out of their feet, the snow balls start to stick
again. I don't feel comfortable leaving the easy boots on them all the
time, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt for a few days at a time as long as you
keep an eye on them. It helps my horses have better traction and they don't
slip and slide as much. (the ground gets frozen here too - and it's VERY
slippery)
I'll be interested on hearing what everybody else in the group does here too.
