I have an incredibly intelligent pony.
I purchased four protective boots, they're lovely, light and breathable.
When I put them on my pony started cow kicking and walking as if they were travel boots. They're not. They also fit well & are not loose or chunky but cover the leg well.
I started to lunge him & he went well then towards the end started kicking out so violently I had to take them off through fear of him hurting himself.
Second time I put them on today he started it immediately & almost refused to go forward because of it.
Obviously I can remove them, sell them. But just wondering if he needs more time to adjust to them or whether he'll always hate them?
Such a shame because I always bandage & he is fine & booting would just save me time.
