Re: Re: how to put on an easy boot

Truth be told, if it weren't for this discussion in general and your
wonderfully funny "instructions", Carla, I don't think I would ever have
given easy boots another thought.  I had already had a very firm discussion
around the barn that any horse who wanted feed and shelter from ME had
better keep his #$%## shoes ON.  But, now, well maybe.
