I've had the opportunity to put several rides on the horse that has the Easyboot Glue-On Goober Glue combo on all four feet. The Goober Glue offers a soft packing material that is super forgiving and flexible. I personally think it's one of the best packing materials around.
After several hard rides, I can tell a difference in the horse's gait and reach. He seems more confident on hard ground or areas with lots of rocks.
I used a different technique when I applied the boots and Goober Glue that allowed me to pack the sole and level so I didn't apply pressure points. Boots are coming off tomorrow. I'll post photos of how the boots, feet and Goober Glue look after removal.
Depending on what I see tomorrow, I think the Goober Glue is a must for tough 100 mile or multiday events.
Hi Garrett, I am having trouble trying to find an Goober Glue in Australia. Any ideas what name it goes by down here?
thanks
Jenny

Hi Garrett, were these boots only glued on via the sole, not the walls at all?
If so, sounds like the best option yet re glueing!
Looking forward to tomorrow's photos - Susan :)
