I used bell boots for awhile while a horse
got into condition and they seemed to work. I used the kind that velcro
on.
I have a pair of Old Macs that I've been reluctant to try for more than a
few minutes because they look absurd--I mean, I don't care about the fashion
statement, but they look so huge that I have trouble believing he won't step
on them even worse. Anyone used these much?
I haven't used these on a horse I rode
(only on one that is arthritic and in pasture). I also thought they are
too bulky. Also, for what it's worth, the farrier at U.C. Davis said
they would be bad for my coon-footed horse because the center is too far
forward.
