THAT I find a very odd statement, and it got worse as I scrolled down the page. That is just wrong...

I totally agree its wrong, but then I think dressing any animal in clothes is wrong, let them be animals, if you want something to dress up buy a doll !

have you actually read up on what miniatures in america get up to? Whilst I hate the idea, they wear trainers over there for a good reason.
Some miniatures are used as "seeing horses" like our guide dogs over here, they go up stairs, downstairs the lot, walk miles, without trainers on they would probably slip and slide and break their legs! - read up on it before judging.
Yes its yuk, but then i think people should stick to dogs for sight and hearing issues, rather than miniatures anyway but there are reasons why they wear them.

No I haven't read up on what miniatures in america get up to, why would I?
I am not judging anything I'm just saying that in my opinion I don't like to see it, some people will, I don't.
You are entitled to your opinion as I am mine.

Why can't they use hoof boots which are PRACTICAL rather than "sneakers" which are primarily fashion items?

Yes, but base your opinions on the facts or appear ignorant and judgemental. Sabre Sneakers started off as custom protection for laminitics and other foot problem horses - not as designer accessories for minis.
The lace-ups and cowboy boots are awful though.

I guess it's just like dressing chimps and dogs etc. up - pretty yuck IMO. With regard to the need to wear them - sorry but I would say normal hoof boots (like Boa's) are 10 times more practical than some stupid little cowboy boots!!

Pretty awful, they are bit too 'fashion' based really - if they're being used as seeing horses then I can understand the need for some protection, but why do americans have to go to the ridiculous end of the scale? Utterly tasteless.

Those sneakers have been available for years, they are just expanding the 'fashions' now. I don't see why they can't just use ordinary hoof boots when needed.
