For riding, with my warmblood, I have used both Boa boots (which I think they
are not making anymore but you may still be able to find the occasional pair
on closeout) I liked them because they are easy to put on and hold up well.
Unfortunately, the wires i
is a pain to put on. I have to say that
when using a boot, it is not on for a whole day of driving or riding.

A good, new rasp, sized to your hand, would make an enormous difference. If

Tunix's new hoof boots came yesterday , Cavallos. And they fit, Whew! Much
easier to put on than the Old Macs G2. Tunix loves the boots, picks up his

Mary,
I've used Cavallo's hoof boots for driving my mare on the road and
they're easy on and off and last a long time. You slip the foot in
and do up the velcro and they're on.

My Old Macs G-2 for Tunix need replacing. His heels seem too high for the
Renegades. (I always thought his heels average in height, they fit my Zoe with
low heels just fine). I'm looking at considering the Easy Boot Glove. Have any
of you tried them? Any opinion
ws me how hard he is working and
concentrating.
Best part: I look forward to riding him daily. And he is
now being ridden at least 5 days per week.
In addition to this change I
have been giving him two Bach Flower essences before I ride. I do believe
that helps too.
Thanks again for every

Hi Robin,
I have used the older Old Macs, the Easy Boot Epics and the
Renegades. I did not like the Old Macs, as they fit too loose and could
spin, and they wore out some nylon strap-hardware areas very quickly.
The Renegades are super easy to put on and

Robin, I have used Old Macs & currently have started using Renegade boots. I

This is a very practical discussion of using hoof boots. It avoids the
"black and white" dichotomy between being shod and barefoot.
It also points out that boots are often helpful in situations where the

I did have a horse that, when shod with pads, did move better. Isn't there
some requirement in the evaluations that horses not be shod with pads,
corrective shoes, etc?
I do think that the footing would likely not be an issue, although it
