[RC] support boots for strained/damaged ligaments? - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: marta marta_k@xxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== marta_k@xxxxxxxx i'm curious as to the opinions people might have about the effectiveness various protective boots might have as far as supporting the leg is concerned. recently our vet concluded that she has some type of ligament damage (the ligament that connects the splint bone to the flexor tendon), probably an old injury. he suggested daily application of liniment. i intend to do daily massage as well. however, someone else suggested use of smb's for support. i've never used smb's b/c i've heard that they cause the joints to overheat and also b/c i was concerned that on trails in water and mud they will caused rubbing or other problems. on top of all that i've heard mixed opinions on whether or not they actually offer any support. so what are your experiences? if you use boots what type and why? do you think smb's work as support boots or only as protection from blows? thanks in advance! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
