Re: E-Z Boots

["ahrides" <ahrides@gateway.net>]

It is definately important, in my experience, to put the hoof toe firmly
into the front of the EZ Boot, then put the horse's foot on the ground (toe
first) and lift the opposite foot, making all the horse's weight go into the
EZ boot.  The cord tied to the strap on the back is also important to
getting the strap up on the back of the hoof and not below the sole.
