The general rule that I heard from USDA officials was that protective boots could *not* be weighted. Back when I wanted to show in regular TWH I did some checking and that was the answer I found. The horse I was thinking about showing always went in bell boots, unweighted and protective. Steph -- "Brutality begins where skill ends."
