This message is from: M Korose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi List In response to the boots question We have successfully used Old Mac boots for driving. We have used them in a small show, no problem. We have even used them to cover both front feet when we lost a shoe on one and still had the other, used the Old Macs on both fronts (1 still with shoe) and continued on with the show. I have used them on one horse in a pair and not the other, didn't get any interference. Watch the inserts tho. I have pretty large sizes (5/6) and they seem to be a bit too wide, but when we put in inserts, the horse brushed the inside backs so much, we wore off a strap. I asked a judge about them as I was using them to protect one horse's poor feet (usually shoes, but fixing a problem at the time) and they were pretty non-committal. We received no penalties. I know Muffy Seaton used them for awhile and we had her advice too. We keep a couple pairs in the trailer now for emergencies. Horses who wore them seemed to accept them with no problems or worries (they were Fjords after all!) Marsha in VA
