Here in sandy MI those who use boots, wash them
regularly at vet checks and baby powder the boots and the horses' legs before
the boots are put on. Seems to work. As for me, I don't use them
because I figure the less used, the better. Maggie will clip herself every
now and then in front (pretty minor) when she gets to winging. I
solved that problem by using ground control shoes on her front. So far I
like them and plan on using them again. Had to get use to hearing only
clip clop in the back though and that took awhile! One does what works for
one's particular horse. Jeanie
