You know, I always wondered about that trimming of the boot to.... why the
heck is the heel high anyway if they tell you to trim it down????  Then, in
preparation last week for a ride on a new horse in new terrain, I bought new
Easyboots.  I always take reading material when I lock myself in the
bathroom (away from children, husband and pets) for a long soak (8-10 hours
does wonders) in the tub.  This time, I actually took brochure insert from
my Easyboots..... you know, that 4-color, several page, fold out thing that
instantly gets tossed in the trash most times?  In reading it, I learned
that Easyboots can also be used medicinally.  In doing so, you remove
completely the "teeth" and heel band and leave the outer heel in tack.
Makes sense!
