It's great to hear from end users when they have found ways to use our products in ways that can help their horses. Below is a comment from a rider who is in the EasyCare Hoof Boot Contest (currently placing in the top five) who just recently attended the recent Pete Ramey clinic in California. Comfort Pads are a great accessory item to sell with our EasyCare hoof boots! If you'd like more information on them or would like to place an order, please contact your sales rep.
An important point I got from the clinic is to use my boots more. I have really
only been using the boots for competitions and going barefoot the rest of the
time at home and on training rides. I did notice that sometimes my horse seemed
to be a little foot sore and a little short strided but I just kind of put it
aside thinking it was better to "toughen" up her feet and I would never get her
hoofs hard and develop thicker soles by using boots.
I found out I was
wrong. What would happen is that my horse would start to walk toe first. Not
super obvious but I could tell. Pete implies that as soon as your horse starts
walking toe first you start going backward in hoof development. He said I would
actually develop a stronger, tougher, better developed hoof using boots and
having a properly loaded hoof with a properly working hoof mechanism then
gimping along barefoot..
So, that's the main thing I am going to do...to
use boots more around home. Also you have to use the foam pads. That I did
already and I think they are great.
