I use them for trail riding, jumping, and arena work and have found these boots to be by far the most durable and versatile!Cowgirl84noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533150033130104703.post-774248875120387252010-04-05T10:37:44.948-05:002010-04-05T10:37:44.948-05:00Shanster- Thanks!

I also have the stone bruise fear and also the fear that 50 miles is just too much territory to cover without wearing down his hooves and making him sore. Since posting this, I have talked to the person hosting the ride as well as my farrier and I think I am going to shoe for this ride. <br /><br />Funder- That was my plan with the boots as well and it did go well for a while, until we hit that mud. Unfortunately, our ride this weekend will be muddy... lots of rain this week! Good luck in your boots, I hope they work for you!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208998958861055873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533150033130104703.post-9129177550930913432010-04-04T14:07:52.712-05:002010-04-04T14:07:52.712-05:00Yeah, that sounds really frustrating. :( I know ...Yeah, that sounds really frustrating. :( I know I need to ride Dixie in boots enough for her to get used to how they feel, but after that? I'm not planning on training in them.<br /><br />I sure don't miss that knee-deep sucking stinking mud!Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533150033130104703.post-22644542881225458792010-04-03T06:46:26.313-05:002010-04-03T06:46:26.313-05:00Heather, last year I rode the 50 at Eagle Ranch wi...Heather, last year I rode the 50 at Eagle Ranch with 4 gloves and only once did a front come off when he hit the edge of a rock. No boots work in true midwestern mud (despite their claims) but I've found the gloves do better than the others. I speak from experience, having lost more than a half dozen Epics and Renegades. Obviously if you have a true barefoot horse it is great, but I always worry that one stone bruise can end our race. Good luck next weekend -hope to see you there.
