Ok so my horse has been barefoot for about 9 months now and was doing really well. The last few days he has started to become footy, now i have recently changed farriers and my old farrier used to trim a lot of sole so as to have a more concaved hoof, so when my horse walked over gravel he wasnt...
I have a pair of easyboot epics for sale and have tried advertising them in the trade it as ebay take so much money from the sell. I have had no response and am wondering if any of you guys have any other ideas as to where to advertise, many thanks
Has anyone got any experience using these boots. My horses measurements fit into a size one boot however due to the fact that he has a very upright heel I can only get his foot into a size 2. Has anyone else experienced this and if so did the bigger size work for you?? Many thanks

Yes Iv ridden everyday since the snow. Our outdoor arena is right outside our stable block so I have managed to ride daily although its been too icey and too much snow around for turnout!!
I would keep things like your saddle etc but rugs and that I would definately sell. I had a baby in March 2008 and still have my horse, I fought tooth and nail to keep him and still do him all myself. I think you are wise selling, you can keep your horse if you are that dedicated and love it so...
