I talked with Dave Rabe yesterday and got some feedback on the Easyboot Glue-Ons we applied at the Strawberry Fields Endurance Event. On 6/19 the day before the event, Dave and I applied Easyboot Glue-Ons on both of his horses after they had been standing in mud and water for two days. The water and muddy conditions gave us a great opportunity to test the application process in difficult conditions.
The boots ended up accomplishing the following before they were removed.
1. Three consecutive days at Strawberry Fields 6/20-6/22.
2. Two days at the Shamrock multiday event between 7/3-7/5.
3. Second place finish at the Big Horn 100 on 7/11.
Awesome results and an incredible test for the Glue-ons.
So they were on for 3 weeks, eh? Did Dave say how his horse's hooves looked when they were removed? How much of the 3 weeks was "wet conditions" and how much was "dry conditions"?
I took Z's glue-ons off after 7 days in wet conditions because I was so nervous about thrush etc, especially on the back of the heel where we'd already had to cut the boots down (low heeled horse). His feet looked GREAT and now 2 weeks later he still has glue on the fronts of his hoof walls (I've been watching to see how long it stays on).

As you say Garrett, "awesome results" but I have to admit to being more distracted by the thought of Dave riding in shorts in the snow!!! brrrrr - Susan :)
