Anyone used them, all my horses are barefoot, but Funny needs something on her front feet for hacking out, its very stoney here, (Spain)

so any recommendation? im thinking of the Old Macs

Old Mac's are great in my opinion.

YO has just bought some ?boa? horse boots for her horse whilst his feet grow.
They seem like the best ones to buy. Said horse has a tendancy to get things off but these stay put.

One of my boarders has just ordered some Boa's for her horse. I haven't seen them in action but I am very interested in whether her opinion is that they are better than the Old Mac's - she borrowed my Old Mac's a couple of times so she will be the best judge.

As I have a barefoot horse I'm always on the barefoot forum (EE) and Old Macs are by far the favourite. I use them, and they are easy to put on and take off, durable, rarely rub and stay put. Boas are prone to breaking, some of the other makes have a tendency to fly off, and can be hard to put on. I would definitely go for Old Macs, and get the G2s, they are a neater fit.

Haven't used Old Macs but use Boas as both emergency boots when a shoe is lost in competition and as a poultice boot. Stays put, doesn't rub, highly recommended.
