I have also have the problem of the easyboots being too high and causing 
pain on the coronary band, even after I trim the top edge down as far as 
possible (leaving enough for protection from the cables in front.)  I wish 
they made them shorter.  My horses are barefoot and my gelding wears a size 
1 and my POA mare wears a size 0. I just use them on their front feet, so 
far.  I was about to have my husband get me some 1/4 - 3/8 inch thick 
noncompressable rubber, or something, to make lifts, when I saw some 
ready-made ones for sale in the Sportack catalog!  I bought some size 0, but 
they're only about 1/8 inch thick which wasn't enough.  I tried them in the 
gelding's boots and it worked for him, even though they were loose in his 
size 1's.

The lifts stay in the easyboots fine, but they were cut a little undersized 
front to back and I worried they would slide back and not provide support 
under the tip of the toe.  I don't think they did, but if I make my own I'll 
make them a little longer.

I can't wait to try Epics, but I feel like I have to wait for my old 
Easyboots to wear out first, and that will take a while. darn it.  I better 
ride more.
