Hi,
My 14.2 pony brushes and catches himself on the inside of his foot just above the coronet band during fast or jumping work. He has short legs and a lot of bone. Hes a heinze 57, some Fell, some NF, some sec D we think. He has 9 inch of bone but only 9 inch length of cannon, so you can see the dilemma here. I don't want to use any doughnut rings if I can help it. Any recommendations please.
 
Bell boots on the hinds should work. Also speak to your farrier and get him to trim/shoe him accordingly as a lot can be done to getting him swinging his legs differently.
