boots while turned out?

[mememe]

i was just wondering what everones views were on the subject and how many people do boot up 4 turn out?

personally i dont, owever i have my horses on private land and i no that the other horses in the field dont kick (most have no shoes!

)

just wondered what everyone else did?

 

[Gentle_Warrior]

has never worn boots

 

[hadfos]

I only boot up if he has moved home or if new horse introduced,they only left on for half hour though!!

 

[121272MDV]

i boot up as the mud is so deep it helps prevent mud fever and also my mare is always falling about the field due to how slippy it is

 

[Foxglove]

I do for my TB, but not for my two arabs.

The Tb is very accident prone and the smallest cut will result in symptoms resembling septiceamia! Unfortunately I have to keep her separate as well.

 

[carthorse]

I am using sportabac turnout boots on Rafi as I was having a problem with mudfever

 

[arwenplusone]

I put yes and other because I don't as routine but if my horses are out with new horses/in a new place or if anything is likely to upset them a lot then I will. Just to play it safe!

 

[skye123]

i dont at all

 

[air78]

I do sometimes, if I think there's a good chance he'll be looning round i.e. if he's going to move fields etc He often strikes into himself whilst turned out and has lots of injuries in the field which have cost me thousands and have scared him permanently

Nope I don't boot up Rock as have no need to - the only time hes ever worn boots is when he had an overeach that kept reopening when he galloped about so he wore overeach boots for a week or two til it healed.

 

[RunToEarth]

Only if they have OR injuries or they have been on box rest for over a week

 

[ajones]

only when hes in full work and stabled at night as he goes mad when i turn him out.

I put other because my mare wears over-reach boots for turnout to try and stop her pulling her front shoes off.

 

[TinselRider]

I boot up cause beastlet suffers from terrible mud fever

 

[__Annie__]

She wears Bioflow boots for magnet power!

 

[kerrylou123]

i dont usually. The only time i would is if my horse was being turned out in a new place, or with a new horse for the first time. I did turn my horse out in over reach boots when she was wearing shoes, as she was well known for over reaching and ripping them off, but no need now as she doesn't wear shoes

 

[KatB]

Only when moving fields/introducing to new horse/been in for any length of time (boxrest) even then only stay on for half an hour until he settles down!!!

 

[BethandHenry]

I have done when Henry injured himself about a year ago, although dont normally. One horse at our yard does as in his first week he managed to pull a fence line across the field and had to me on box rest for over a month! He also charges around a lot, hes quite nasty really.

My girl wears over-reach on the fronts only as she has natural balance shoes on the fronts and I don't want her pulling them off while she is looning around
