RE: [RC] Hoof Boots - Dolores Arste

Stephanie,
Karen, from the Barefoothorsecare list writes about your boots:
Likely, they were too big. Most people don't take the time to fit 
them properly (they have shims to shim the inside if they're a tad 
too big). Also, I found that using a heavy, wool, hiking sock would 
keep them on Kurt's horse (who regularly threw them before using the 
socks).
The horse may also have had an imbalanced hoof that caused him to 
overstep. Cutting the toe out of the Swiss Boots enhances the 
breakover and stops the boot from interfering with breakover so 
much.
