Re: [RC] [RC] Anyone's experience with Bosana Boots Good/Bad? - AprilHi. I had a pair of these. It really all depends on how well the boot will fit your horse's feet. My horse's feet are almost as wide as they are long. Very close. The first pair of boots I tried were supposedly the right size based on the chart. But they were too long and Tanna threw them off within a couple miles. The second pair I got seemed to fit front to back, but I suppose they are too narrow as Tanna got a bruise on his hoof wall and he tripped all over the place on a familiar, although uneven, trail until I removed the boots. I don't know where you are, but if you are going to be at a ride that Teddy of Running Bear will be at, check out her selection. You can fit the boot to your horse right at her trailer. They are a very interesting idea. I was intrigued. But they didn't work for my horse due to the shape of his hooves. Teddy has some good notes on her website. She has published the width and length of each of the sizes of the boots. Looking at that, I can see why none of the boots fit Tanna. http://runningbear.com/catalog/display.php?cartid=413f604e82c04&zid=1&lid=1&cat=18&scat=138 The boots are not hard to put on. I was able to do it easily and quickly, even with the snugger boots. They seem to be made of tough material. Have to be to use over shoes, I guess. I like the idea for riding on pavement or rocks to avoid padding, but until they make another size for my horse, I don't think they will work for us. Good luck. I've heard that some horses do really well with these boots.

To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I am thinking of getting these as I ride on very hard, rocky ground all the time. I am worried about stone bruises & tripping on those dang blasted rocks. They are a ?new? concept as they go over a shoe & act as a pad. Does anyone have experience with these good or bad? If you like them why, or if not, why not? http://www.bosanaboot.com/index.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
