Re: [RC] Bruce's Bosana Boot - Dabney Finch

Ouch! You poor thing! (Well at least you've got a doctor nearby.)

Maybe you could back the toes of the BB off with a rasp?

I've always been surprised this hasn't been reported with EZ boots. Seems so funny to me that Elfta works so hard, studiously and carefully getting the toes backed up, and the breakover just where it should be for a particular horse--and then I can go slap on one size fits all EZ boots and it hasn't been more of a problem!

I have recently suffered a setback in my clinical trials of the Bosana Boot. I have been impressed with the sturdy construction and durability of the boot, and the fact that they DO NOT come off, as well as the fact that they don't accumulate gunk inside. However, my foxtrotter mare, who is one of the most remarkably surefooted horses I have ever owned, has tripped and gone down twice with me now, both times on good footing. The most recent time was last Saturday, and I have two broken ribs to show for it. My theory is that the boot may diminish the horse's toe clearance, and possibly create an increased opportunity for tripping. I plan on doing the next few workouts without them, and see what happens. I will keep y'all posted.
Incidentally, ever wonder what the plural of "y'all" is? Answer: "All y'all." Sincerely, Dr. Quackenbush
