This message is from: "Eileen Perry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've used horse boots for years. I used Old Macs almost exclusively on my Appys, and I found them very easy to get on and off, take care of, etc. As far as the velco, it was never an issue, even with the cheatgrass we have in this area (ggrrrr). I've used Boa boots also. My Fjord mare has been a fitting challenge, and I've been using Easyboot Bares, with the front closure modified. They are much more of a pain to fit and put on, but they seem to work for her. I've ridden and driven miles in them. I think any of the boot manufacturers tell you to measure immediately after a trim. To me, the boot fitting with some horses is largely trial and error. But my mare has great feet, just needs the boots for the cushion and protection on roads and rocks, so why shoe?
