Those are kinda neat. I wonder if they would have stayed on better if they'd have been a smaller size? I keep Winnie barefoot and it would be nice to have something like that for trail rides.

Mack seems to think that was the problem, that we got too big a size. I measured the horses feet before we ordered them, right after they had a trim. The thing is they went barefoot for awhile before the shoes got here and their feet really get wore off here, and were even shorter then when I measured.

Rusty's feet were a little longer yesterdayt then back then, it was actually rather hard to get them on.

But something else I didn't like about them was, if you went thru water, which you do alot on trails, at least I do, they fill up and hold water. Then when I would take them off the back of their foot looked all white and mushy. I don't know if that was a big deal or not, I just didn't like the way it looked.

That center blue thing is a cover for a dial that you turn to tighten the little wires you see at the sides of the blue cover.One of them broke after a short time too, but it might have been because I was tightening them so much trying to get them to stay on.

If I was going to buy anymore boots, I'd look into a brand called Old Mac's. You can find them on the internet. I've heard alot about them since I bought these. They sound better.
