Hi Jonni,

Your question wasn't addressed to me, but I am someone who has had good luck 
using Old Macs.  I kept my horse barefoot for nearly 4 yrs and used the OMs 
for about 3 yrs.  During that time I used them for 3 50's (Bryce, DVE and 
LOS) and a few CTRs, one of which had a lot of deep sand (they actually 
helped keep my horse on top of the sand).  I've ridden them lots in sand and 
rocks, done river crossings with no problem.  However, I wasn't happy with 
how they worked in mud, but I don't know of any boot that has as good of 
traction as a hoof (shod or not) in mud.

I never had a rubbing problem with them.  I always wrapped with something 
(an old sock for training rides, vet wrap otherwise).
