[RC] foaming on easy boots - Kathleen A. Crothers

Hi, I've used the easy foam to foam easy boots on over my horse's front shoes 
and liked how it kept the boots on and the hoof in better shape than not 
foaming them on.  However, the last time I did that I ended up ruining the 
boots just trying to get them off the horse 4 days after riding 50 miles 2 days 
in a row on hard packed trails and roads.  I even soaked his hooves and he was 
running out on dew covered grass the 4 days after the ride. The cable and 
buckle even broke on one boot and even though I foamed them on without the back 
strap they still stayed on.  I want to try foaming them on again for the muddy 
fall rides and wondered if anyone had any ideas of how to make it easier to get 
the foam out after the ride and still keep them on during the ride.  I kinda 
remember hearing something years ago that people sprayed pam spray in them 
before they foamed them on to make removing the easier.  Would using duck tape 
in the boot help?  I haven't tried using the foam with the ne
wer boots so maybe without the little nobbies in the sole that it might be 
easier to get the foam off after use.  Thanks for any suggestions, etc.  Happy 
Trails, Kathy
