Fwd: Re: FW: [RC] easy boots, how easy!!?? :-) - Ellen Zawada

I just came back from the Michigan Shore to Shore Trail Ride and used Easyboots (originals) for the first time.  I was apprehensive about using them, knowing that the ride was for 10 days covering 238 miles, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised.  I knew where my horses measurements fell with regards to shoe size and adjusted the boots smaller before I ever tried them on him.  The first "Try" was not fun.....but it was much easier than I expected.  I did cut off 3/4" in the front to prevent rubbing.  By my third try I was shaking my head and wondering what all the fuss was about.  Much to everyones amazement I could have both fronts on faster than my partner could saddle her horse.  We rode a total of 210 miles that week with no rubs, sore spots, or any other problems.  I never needed to duck tape, vet rap, or any other adjustments other than tightening the bands at the end of the ride.  We rode through many river, mud, muck, and deep sand without a problem.  I am a total believer now and highly recomend them.  My 24yo old gelding also highly appreciated it!

You probably tried to pry them from the heel towards the toe. Take a long
screwdriver and pop them off right to left. Insert screwdriver right by
screws on side. Bingo. Easy as pie. :-)
