Depends.... I have no doubt that Karen could make the boots stay on anything, especially in relatively flat, dry Nevada. Whether *I* could make them stay on in the steep, clay-mud slime I have to deal with is unclear. ;-) Sleepy is very "talented" at stepping on anything that trails behind his front hooves. He has even managed to remove nailed-on shoes, when the farrier left a smidge too much pad sticking out behind! (He's OK in the summer; it's winter mud and cooped-in-the-corral-too-long "enthusiasm" that usually do in shoes.) However, yes, Easy Boots do stay on him a little better if I put a "sock" on under them (in my case, gauze wrap and duct tape). But, IMHO, that takes the "easy" out of using boots....
