Hi--
I am a firm believer in barefoot if possible, but use a traditional
farrier and have had great luck with the Fjords' feet.
We just received our Renegade boots on Sunday in preparation for a road trip
that will involve some graveled trails

I use old macs, just open them up all the way and put the toe in first, let
them step down and the you can adjust them a bit. You can even pick up the
foot just slightly and tap the toe on the ground to make sure it's in the
right place.

Hi Kris!
I am so excited to hear that you got Renegades! Please DO let me

Hi Jen,
I like them. They are easy to put on, stay on well in mud or rocky trails.
They are a bit bulky, but the horses don't seem to mind at all. I LOVE it
when I don't have to use anything but it just doesn't always work. The old

We don't live in an extreme terrain, but my barn owner thought it was easier
to put down rocks on all of the roads surrounding the barn and for access to
our trails. So while my ponies are in a comfy 2 acre dry lot most of the

Hi Kelly-
A friend of mine and I both have barefoot fjords, and use boots. They are

I would not shoe if he is OK in his drylot.
EasyCare Epics (new version) with the Easy-Up Buckles are pretty easy to

When my Farrier trims a hoof to stay barefoot he only uses the hoof knife
to remove shedding sole and to find where to start his cut with the
nippers. He doesn't pare any sole out that is not shedding but leaves as
much as possible, and does

I agree with you Brigid. I got a new, fancy hoof knife this year as for some
