Re: [RC] EASY BOOT BARES - Jo Ann KnightMy trimmer cut the heel strap out right away. My mare didn't seem confortable with it. This gal is a bare foot trimmer and fitted my Bares for me and will check them in 4 weeks. In the mean time she showed me and the trainer how to do the adjustments. I figure with my luck i will take awhile getting used to that operation! They go on nicely and will, once broke in be tightened a bit but with the gaiters, I don't worry about them falling off! So far the horse likes them and that is the most important part for me. I do appreciate any information I can get though. I still wonder if each boot should stay with one foot, not be interchanging them around. For me that means marking them R , L etc..
