[RC] Trimming Easyboot Epics - Kristi Schaaf

Karen -

I cut the heel strap off (or take it completely out
and use tapers), and I think lots of other people do
that also. I sure like that I don't have to worry if
it's trapped under my horse's hoof (since you can't
see it because of the gaiter). I don't think I'd trim
the back of the boot down (the heel 'bulb' part) as
that seems to play a role in keeping the gaiter stable
and in place and helps keep junk out....

____________________

I'm getting ready to experiment with Epics for my
horse. There is tons of great information written by
Karen on easycares site. What I'm trying to determine
is if I should trim the back of the boot/heel strap as
suggested in Karen's directions, or if that is only
necessary for standard easy boots without the gaitor.
I can't determine if the trimming is recommended just
to decrease the risk of the horse pulling a boot
(which would be negated by the gaitor that covers that
same area), or also to reduce the chance of rubbing.





Life's a journey, so enjoy the ride (and try not to fall off)
