Re: Easyboots bruising hooves



After looking at the bruises and thinking for a few days I think the cables 
where they cross above the buckles have caused the bruises. The boots are cut 
down in front as far as I can go and still leave some rubber for the cables 
to rest on. The 2 horses that have been bruised both have short feet from 
coronet to toe, so the boot still comes up to just below the soft part of the 
hoof. Too close. So I may move the buckes lower (drill out old rivets and 
rivet lower). The bottom of the buckle may have to be ground off too 
depending on how close to the ground I put it. I haven't gotten the urge to 
start this project yet, but I'll keep y'all posted.
