This message is from: Fiona Lindsay-Delfino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Genie, Hi. I just had my horse do a three day trip from FL to VT. He has front shoes only. I normally ship with standing wraps, but, because he was on such a long trip I didn't want his legs all wrapped up, and have the issue of them not being able to "breathe" if you will. I put bell boots on all four legs. And he was just fine. I also did this when he went from VT to FL, only on the trip down, I only put them on his front legs. If she were to step on a piece of velcro and pull the boot off, it becomes very dangerous at that point, especially if the shippers aren't going to rewrap polos or any boots...It is better for them anyways to have their legs beable to "breathe" if you will. Good luck... ~Fi

I am looking for shipping boots, both the short kind that come up to and the tall kind that come over the hocks, for my Fjord who is 14.1 medium build. The ones that I've tried of the shorter kind that are pony size are the right height but are not large enough around. Any suggestions? I am good at wrapping her legs but would like the option to use boots. As we are moving this summer and Pjoska will have to make the trip from Michigan to Connecticut and I would like her well protected. Shippers will not rewrap legs with polo wraps.
