Re: [RC] Do Easy Boots change a horse's gait? - Glenda R. Snodgrass

But I was wondering if experienced riders have seen a difference in the way 
their horses move when shod vs. when using Easy Boots (I would be using the 
boots barefoot, not over shoes). It's not something I've ever seen discussed 
when people talk about Easy Boots.


I am using Easy Boots with my new horse, a new experience for me, and I
have noticed that when I put the boots on (front feet only, otherwise he's
barefoot), for the first few minutes he does move a bit differently, but
then he seems to settle in and I can't tell any difference.

I would also be very interested to hear what more experienced riders have
to say about this, particularly any effects over long distances.  We're
still at the "trying to get in shape after 3 years off" stage so not doing
much distance yet.
