I missed the plastic bag part when i wore in my combat boots, spent the next 6 weeks stinking of horse pee - at least it was a comforting/ welcome smell in the least pleasant moment.

Being Military, i can tell you one the one best thing I ever did. Go to boots, get some thick WHITE (has to be white) Zinc oxide tape, place this over the red spots where you are starting to get blisters, wear them for ten to fifteen times a day, around the house, in the garden, slowly build...

I have just changed my riding style to the mary wanless ride with your mind. It has improve his ground work, and the majority of his jumping, just the odd time, i have a lesson with my trainer tomorrow, I am hoping that she may shed some light on the situation.
