Went for a lovely hack in the sunshine.. my mare walking out lovely in her Flex boots I bought mid last year.
Walked through a few puddles, they didn’t move. On the way home we had a canter, she did an uphill powerful canter and queue one boot flying off, and one somehow stayed attached around her fetlock but really upset her. Jumped off, located the other and walked back barefoot.
Got back to the yard very much ‘she’s being shod, that was scary!’ But she has such good feet.. I would love to keep her barefoot.
Any tips for keeping them on? Should the bottom (foot) strap be done up as tight as possible? Equally.. any experiences with hoof armour?
