Re: RC: Old Mac Horse Boots

[Jennifer Layman <jenn_layman@yahoo.com>]

Kat,

Are you using them on all fours?  Your horse has to be barefoot,
correct?  Other than the twisting after ground contact, are there
other confirmation issues to consider if interested in the boot (i.e.
low heals?).

Thanks for your input.  Very interested in the boot.
