I agree Kevin Bacons - leaves hooves lovely for up to 2 days!

Please send some to Cambridgeshire - we have barely had any rain since the begining of Aug! My work friends think I am mad praying for rain.

I use them in winter if his legs are dry (so in the stable). But he tends to need them less. I don't think that I would want to turn out in a muddy field wearing them, but apart from that I would have no problem using them when ever, except I don't use them for riding. I normally use them on...
