[RC] For those of you using Easyboot Bares... - Kristi SchaafI just got my Bares today (love the cans they come in!) and spent the last hour trying them on my horse then adjusting them and trying them on again, over and over. Questions for those of you who have been using them: do you use the heel strap or did you take it off? NO WAY could I get my horse's hoof in there with the heel strap on. So, I removed it and the boot went on much easier (which, alas, I assume means it might rub or fall off much easier). Also, NO WAY could I get the boot on if I had the bungee as tight as is recommended. The tightest combo I could do and still get the boot on leaves enough gap at the front of the boot to slide in a screwdriver. So, I guess I'll just see what happens when they're looser than recommended, 'cause I won't be able to get them on at all if they're as tight as they're supposed to be! Also, for those of you who took the heel strap off, did you order the tapered side pieces, or did you just let the little side screws stick into your horse's hoof? And boy is it hard to avoid the temptation to use the gaiter to pull the boot on, since it's right in the way. I found that I had to tug on the heavy duty part of it once because it folded under the horse's heel. Any other recommendations/discoveries on how to make the Bares fit as well as possible?
