I expect this question has been asked before but untill you actually need something, I find I dont read posts concerning such things!
My mare who has arthritis in one of her front coffin joints had her shoes off nearly two weeks ago. She hasn't had hinds on for over 2 years. She is not uncomfortable without them and I will try to condition her feet as much as I can, however she wont be ridden alot anymore and most of her work will either be in a sand school or hacking which will require a bit of road work.
My farrier has advised getting her a pair of hoof boots if I want to take her on the roads and mentioned Old Macs. I see they have a new version called the G2 which look quite good but being new to this barefoot stuff, I wonder if any of you could give me your recommendations please.
She has fairly boxy shaped feet and one is smaller than the other. Is there one particular make that fits a certain shape better than other or do they all do the same job. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
