Any time I have ridden my horses they are either shod or booted on all 4 hooves.

That is something that bothers me about using boots
for endurance or heavy conditioning. Last fall when I was getting ready to
hike in new, insulated hiking boots, I wore them for my exercise walks for a
month. It would not have been comfortable for me to hike in different
shoes that I wasn't used to.
This doesn't seem to bother some horses that are
campained in boots. I wonder why?
