Although, I'd really like to try the epic glove. <br />What is nice about the Easy Boots is the insert available to help the hoof develop properly. <br />I've been very pleased with using the Easy Boots to transition the OTTB that I have.Susanhttp://www.samlennon.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-23818572690234363162010-10-30T12:41:53.449-07:002010-10-30T12:41:53.449-07:00That horse needs a middle name.

Why can't P be the abbreviated version of Pea?<br /><br />Off topic but sort of related, I've taken to calling my Palomino mare Molly, "Molly Moo".

I know the bf's mom and sister use the ol mac boots and really like them, but I don't have any experience with them personally. <br /><br />Could you try seeing P in your head as Pea instead of Pee when you say it? Or you could go with PC (Prin Cess)? I'm awful with names. Even if I do come up with a good one, something else usually ends up sticking and next thing I know I'm stuck with a cat that I call Legs, despite the vet listing her name as June Bug.

I like the design of the simple boots but they don't fit my gelding's narrow feet. Fortunately the sport boots do fit him so I'm going with those. Even being slightly too large for him the simple boots didn't come off and they didn't rub him at all.<br /><br />I've got a pair of very lightly used size 2 simple boots that I could sell you for a reasonable price...smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-78506544790344769602010-10-19T01:21:47.690-07:002010-10-19T01:21:47.690-07:00I rode a mare named Princess for 6 years and could...I rode a mare named Princess for 6 years and could never ever call her that. Her owner even called her P, she couldn't say it either. I decided to call her Princess Buttercup on all our ride entries, but when I talked to her, I called her Leia.<br /><br />The thing was, she really was a Princess - it's self-fulfilling, ya know? She was the daintiest, cleanest thing. She despised dirt so brushing her was nice, and bathing was never necessary. She had one of those thick long manes that somehow never tangles. She also never farted, nor tripped. She did not want to get dirty, I think, so she kept all 4 hooves under her despite the rugged terrain. <br /><br />However, her manners and training were impeccable - what a lazy rider I became, having such an easy horse!<br /><br />~lythalythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-69230904695799575862010-10-18T23:46:13.464-07:002010-10-18T23:46:13.464-07:00I keep all my horses barefoot but when I need boot...I keep all my horses barefoot but when I need boots (on 2 horses occasionally) I like and use easyboots Epic with the Gaiter, their website is chock full of information.<br />The secret to boots is keep the foot tight with no flares and keep to a frequent trimming schedule, 4 weeks max. I trim my own and touch everybody about weekly or 2 weeks.<br /><br />The likely to break parts are replaceable and affordable. I have several pairs that are several years old and look like they will go many years to come.<br /><br />http://www.easycareinc.com/Glen Moultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906745881273163379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-12273874086339166872010-10-18T20:34:54.864-07:002010-10-18T20:34:54.864-07:00I myself haven't used any of those hoof boots ...I myself haven't used any of those hoof boots but Kimfer really likes the pair she uses in a pinch.

I would recommend taking them off for cleaning every day. After taking the boots off everyday for several days, everything looked fine so I left them on for 48 hours during which time he got his feet wet. Even though the boots are designed to go through water, I don't think extended wear when wet was what the manufacturer intended. He had blisters on the back above the hoof which was totally my fault. Overall, I thought the boots were great.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672160602159828995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-65077301317787485402010-10-18T18:27:11.298-07:002010-10-18T18:27:11.298-07:00I'm no help with boots, but Kacey over at htt...I'm no help with boots, but Kacey over at http://allhorsestuff.blogspot.com/ is!
