Good Morning all.

Hair, your post about the can was funny. Sure glad it was not anything more than trash. Wrap Bay's legs for some support and do lunge him. As long as the circles are not real tight, he should be fine. He will not get the same kind of exercise in pasture, as he would by lunging. We use the splint boots when lunging and I used them on my gelding when riding, all the time when he advanced in years.

Good morning:)

We got several inches of rain thru the night, and it is still raining now.

I highly recommend the splint boots. I always have them on the mare, front and back, as well as bell boots, when we jump anything and especially when we hunt or event.

I have the heavy neoprene ones with the velcro closures, and they do seem to offer substantial support. They also keep her legs nice and warm.
