I sell and have used the Bosana Boots on MANY horses. Unfortunately,
the brochure does not give you much information. The Boot is designed
to go OVER a shoe...the heel of the shoe fits under the back bar of the
boot by using the tool that comes with it. Place the horses foot in
the boot as far as it will go by hand. Insert the tool into each hole
at either side of the back bar of the boot to draw the back bar back
while using the tool to grasp the heel of the shoe so that the back bar
of the Bosana Boot now rests on top of the heel of the shoe. Done a
few times with a little bit of practice, they are easier to put on and
take off than Easyboots. If the heel of the shoe is fully under the
back bar of the Bosana Boot it is next to impossible to lose either the
Bosana Boot or the shoe. They are an ideal substitute and added
protection for horses with or without pads. They provide excellent
traction and proved cushioning, thus reducing stress and the ensuing
swelling and leg puffiness that can accompany rides on hard ground.
Also, being rubber, not a plastic, they provide better grip on almost
all kinds of footing and are longer-lasting...
Several riders at the Big Horn and the Tevis wore them this year...
"The world is in chaos. Honorable dealing is
deteriorating, good
friends are few, truth is held in disrepute, good service is
underpaid, poor service is overpaid. Whole nations are committed to
evil dealings: With one you fear insecurity, with another,
inconsistency, with a third, betrayal. This being what it is, let the
bad faith of others serve not as an example, but as warning. The real
danger of the situation lies in the unhinging of your own integrity:
accepting less than your best, being overly tolerant of stupidity,
forgiving incompetence, fraternizing with the non-spiritual. The man
of principle never forgets what he is, because he clearly sees what
the others are." ---- Baltasar Gracian, 1601-1658
