Re: RC: Easyboot alarm?

["Michelle Rowe" <michrowe@frontier.net>]

Oh well, it's my only idea for detecting a loose boot, and one of my horses
seems to throw them quite easily from his right hoof.  Will try it on my
Ayrab who is high as a kite from her recent ration increase and see how it
goes.

I think with a small bell that's not hitting the ground (and hence getting
stepped on) I can longe the horses with it on for practice.  Has to be
better than an Easyboot on the keeper strap. :-)

And I'll put a tag on her halter in case my horse ends up at Howard's house.
How much more South can 'ya get? ;-)  Maybe she'll see Howard's Skeletor and
decide to start EATING.
