Sausage Boots/Fetlock Ring Overreach?

[mini-eventer]

Morning,

I have a big ish we have really knuckled down lately, and he has started to use him self much more correctly from behind, lifting his shoulders and I am delighted.

However he appears to have started to move close behind- he always has to a degree, but it seams worse. He keeps standing on the inside of his feet and taking his shoes off in the field. I am going to discuss with the farrier and physio, but in the meantime has anyone had experience with a fetlock ring helping with this issue at all?

I put over reach boots on behind last night and there is a chunk out of them this morning so I was wondering if there was an alternative.

Sausage boot, my cob was close behind and destroyed everything else. I found a really fat one and it worked so well.

Does he have a weaker hind? My physio has suggested a sausage boot on the weaker hind before for mine. It has helped slightly but mine will always be close behind.

Thanks this is interesting, his left hind would be the one

I have used a sausage boot on the fronts before to stop shoe pulling they definitely work.
