The trimmer was due at midday so I took Anky out for a hack after breakfast. She was so much better today, on her toes but willing and forward. I intended to do a short circular ride to the wood and then ride past the house up to the school and do a short session there. As we approached the house I could see Gareth's van in the driveway, he'd arrived early, so the ride was cut short but it didn't matter as I was so pleased with her.
I'd noticed that Anky's boots seemed a little loose so after he'd trimmed her we measured her feet and they've definitely changed shape, more upright and shorter at the toe, so after speaking to the hoof boot people,new boots have been ordered and are on their way.
I really wanted the
Easyboot Glove,
but unfortunately Anky's foot shape wouldn't be ideal as the measurements are between two size categories,so we went for the
Easyboot Edge

i'm alwasys pleased i've never needed boots for molly, always strikes me as a right chew on for those that need them..
They are a bit of a pain Claire, but I'm hoping that eventually we won't need them for Anky. It's early days yet though and we need to give her feet time to harden up so,unfortunately, boots are a necessity at the moment.
I'm looking at boots at the moment, but have no experience with any of them. I have also had my eye on the EB glove, they look light and comfertable and those who have tried them say that they fit really nice.
I whish I didn't need them, but it looks like Bosco needs more time to adapt and harden up. I definitely need them for the winter.
Oou...I have 1 day and 1/2 before my boot days are mostly over! "EASYWALKER Shoes" for me..I pray they work for Wa mare and then, I only have to boot the backs with the Delta Cavallo's- for extra rocky terrains.
NONE of the easyboots work for my mare..her hooves are totally round!
I was going to try the "Renegades" but...think I may be done with boots.
Took me 4 years to come to this conclusion...
Hope the new size works better for you!
I need to look into getting boots for Gandalf, do they make them big enough for dinner plates?!
LOL, I don't know helen, but I looked for my other horse Corky and they didn't do them big enough for her, so perhaps not!! She's in Old Mac's by the way, they look very clumsy but she doesn't seem to mind.
