[RC] EZ Boot Buckles Popping Open - Lucy Chaplin Trumbull

I am planning on ordering the Cotter pins, but I was just wondering
what might be causing the buckles to pop
open.

You can get cotter pins from most hardware
stores - just take a boot along to make sure
the pin fits through the hole.

Before I invested in a bag of pins, I too
had buckle popping problems - despite having
the buckle so tight I had a job to close it
while flailing around standing on it.

Watching what was happening, it seems my horse
would roll her toe into a rock, snagging the
bottom of the buckle and flipping it open - in
much the same way that I prise them open to get
them off.
