I know this subject has come up
before but I'm wondering if anyone has any long term or additional
experience with these shoes. I read the reports of hoof wall
breakdown on the archives: was that for horses who had similar
problems with steel shoes or for horses without problems? My horse's feet
are great right now and he is more comfortable barefoot and if we weren't doing
CTR he would not need shoes at all. I do not want to create a problem with
his feet -- I do like the idea of allowing his foot to flex more freely, but not
at the expense of the hoof wall. I find Easy Boots are
awkward and I've heard conflicting reports about chaffing and irritation
with Old Mac's so I'm not sure which way to go. He's done okay with steel
all around but he's telling me he's more comfortable without shoes. My
farrier is coming in a couple of weeks. Thanks for any advice.
