RE: [RC] Epics w/out heelstrap - Linda Cowles

Hi Karen,

Whenever I have lost a plastic cleat, I've used duct tape to 
cover them. ...I may still use duct tape, just 
because it seems wrong to do a ride without using it somehow <bg>.  ;)

As an ex-ultra runner, I like the, ahhh, romance of duct tape too! I took
the plastic cleat covers off immediately because they looked like they'd do
more wall damage than the cleats! :*o

If the boots are tall enough to be touching the coronet band, 
maybe a smaller size would work? I only mention that because 
my horse always took a size 2 easyboot over shoes, there is 
no way you could have gotten a size 1 on before, but now that 
he is barefoot, I can get the size 1 on -- even tho when you 
hold it up to the bottom of his foot the boot matches it 
almost identically width-wise. 

Gabby's foot has grown from using a size 1 to a beefy size 2 after two years
of being barefoot, but if I take the heel strap out of the Epics, maybe a
size 1 will work again. Aside from the cleats and wall height, I love this
new design.

Thanks, Linda
