Re: [RC] Never lose your easyboot again... - Barbara McCrary

 I use dog collars around the pasterns of amenable horses.  They don't rip off as Velcro would.  If the Velcro rips off when the boot is pulled off, there is no advantage in having the keeper at all, in my mind.  But it is essential you try this on a horse that won't mind having an EZ boot flapping around his pastern.  I have one horse now that would panic with a loose EZ boot.  He's convinced that anything under his feet is a snake, out to get him.  His halter rope came untied one time and he backed up all over the place with this large blue snake chasing him every step.  I just let him work it out for himself and he finally stopped.  But I wouldn't trust him yet.  He'd do it again.....

Somebody on RC awhile back suggested just using a couple of dog collars from Wal-mart. I haven't tried that because I have a freaky horse that I need to train to accept those sorts of things and I haven't done that yet. But sounds like a great idea. The dog collars are cheap and readily available.

I don't know if this thing works or not, but I intend to try it!  It's called and Easy boot Keeper.  Check it out at http://buytack.com/products/endur/ez-ride/ez-boot.htm
