This would be a good time to tell all the ECTRA riders/drivers
going to the convention that I have asked to speak to the board about allowing
old macs. If you can't make it to the convention please write or e-mail a
board member. We need everyone to raise their voices to allow these.
I realize the coronet band is the magic line drawn in the sand but these boots
help many riders keep their horses barefoot most of the time. They use the
area around the coronet band to hold the boot on instead of squeezing the hoof
the way easy boots do. How many of us have gotten points off for injuries
at the coronet band. I have competed pretty darn close to 6000 miles and I
never have. These boots are permitted in AERC just not ECTRA. So
write or better yet come to the convention and go to the board meeting.
