Hi all, I know there were many discussions about easy boot epics, but when
the thread came out I wasn't really reading many posts at the time.
However, I have tried them on one of my mares and just loved them! I
did this yesterday. My mare didn't mind them at all and the were easy to
put on and take off. I had borrowed them from a neighbor of mine.
I have a questions though, I only used them on her fronts. Since she
has nice round feet they fit her perfect.
Now, I'm wondering, do many of you used front and backs? Or just the
fronts?
Especially for a ride. Fronts only? or both? How do ride
managers view this? Are fronts only not allowed?
Allowed?
My mare had been barefoot most of her life until last year. I put
shoes on her from Mid april thru September for rides, and for Tevis and the
pre-conditioning for it.
I pulled her shoes recently and and she'll be barefoot again for quite a
while. She needs her heels to spread again. I really noticed a
difference this time with her heels, having shoes on for 6 months or so.
With her, I much prefer barefoot and am leaning towards that and boots as
needed.
I'd still like to ride her, and figured for rocky terrain the boots might
be good.
Any personaly thoughts and experiences to share would be nice!
