Carla- You always come up with new ways to make me
burst out laughing in complete hysterics. My family
comes running into the room and thinks I'm nutts. But
I really can relate to this as well!! 
Oh boy do I hate easy boots, and have completely given
up on them. If my horse throws a shoe I call my
beloved farrier and make an appoinment ASAP, and say
screw it, and pull the other shoe so they don't run
around for a week on even front or back feet. 
Well, thanks for all your imput and *jokes, take
care!!

and Thunder Butt "Mom, if you ever put one of those on
me again I'll go nutts!"

Happy Trails all, and remember, "..to finish is to win."
