I discovered on Sunday that my horse had thrown a
shoe. My shoer is on vacation, but I do have a shoeing scheduled for next
Monday. I'm trying to get ready for a ride so I went and bought a size 2
easy boot last night. It is a hind foot that we are talking about.
We got the boot on as tight as we could, but she tossed it off twice. The
first time we had gone about a mile or so, the second time I don't think we even
got 100 feet. The trail was fairly soft, but not muddy and her feet
are pretty hard so I finished the ride with out the boot. I had measured
her foot and bought the boot for that width/length, but am thinking of trying a
size 1 to see if it will stay on better. This is the new 2005 model that
you all have been talking about. Do the wires stretch out some when you
first use a new boot? Do you all think I will have better luck with
the next smaller size?
