Re: how to put on an easy boot

Carla:
I'd say that pretty much matches my experiences!   Being mechanically
challenged, I have sat on the floor of the stall while Suni ate an entire
flake of hay, his hoof in my lap, scizzors, gauze, vet wrap and duct tape
within reach, carefully wrapping his hoof--only to have the whole thing
unravel in his first four steps.  And that does not begin to describe the
brutal frustration of easy boots.
