Re: Re: [RC] re: EasiestBoot? - hrsldylory

venice of turpentine is what my farrier recommended.  although i don't know if 
there is a difference.  he used to use used motor oil too, don't know how safe 
that is.

another good way to toughen sole is to use turpintine, its an old one, but 
has worked for me for over 40 years of riding, OMG has it been that long?

  She is tender walking across such surfaces because we rarely traverse them 
in our regular training routine.  If we did walk across these surfaces 
regularly I'm sure she would toughen up but that isn't the case.  Hence, I 
would hate to cause a stone bruise or tear up her feet right before a barrel 
race.

  Sharon Levasseur <sharon1359@xxxxxxxxxxx> asked:

  Why do you need to boot this horse for such short distances?  Exposure to
  rougher footing will only help her in the long run, by toughening up her 
sole. 
  (This exposure is of such limited duration that I'm not sure it would help
  much... but I doubt it would hurt!)  Is she really so tenderfooted that you
  cannot get her across these areas without boots?
