Fw: [RC] Old Macs-just 2 in front or all 4? - Mike & Kathy Kelly
Wearing them on just the front is fine IF your
horse is comfortable. In your situation I wouldn't go without
carrying the hind boots with me in case they are needed. It just depends
on what your horse needs, and if this is his first extended trial ride (and on
unfamiliar terrain) you just don't what he needs at this point. BTW Old
Macs makes a really nice cantle pack that holds 1 boot in each side
pocket (where you would usually carry water). If you do need all 4 boots
your traction should be great as long as the boots aren't very worn or you
aren't in mud.

I will be going on my horse's first extended trail ride soon. Shoes
are recommended. I will be using Old Macs. Someone said I'll need
them only in front, but what is best? I do have 2 pairs, front and
back. He was pretty antsy our first trail ride away from the property,
so I don't look forward to piaffe in Old Macs.
