Yes I have.  What I did first was to have it "happen" at home.  I hooked on 
easyboot like is had come off with attached cord and walked my horse around.  
He was a bit jumpy at first but then it was ok.  I have had them come off at 
a fast trot with no problem.  You can tell when it comes off by different 
gait or some other signal from horse, or even rider behind will say 
something.  It is alwasy best to try anything new at home.

Has anyone actually been on when an eboot came off but was still
attached to the horse via a string around the pastern?
