Hi, thinking of trying them so would value other people's experiences, good or bad.
Two ponies in mind, both have been unshod over winter and both coped fine but they've done very little.
Pony 1, Connie, 19, mainly hacks but a bit of jumping too. Fit and well, lives out, good hooves, very forward going. My hacking is good but flinty.
Pony 2, Small driving pony, has had 2 serious bouts of lami in past 5 years. Restricted grazing by day, in with soaked hay at night. Again, good hard hooves but tiny and hinds tend to be very boxy. I need to up her workload now winter over to keep her weight steady.
Any ideas which brand might be good?
The farrier is due, if I go for boots should I measure now or when they're trimmed?
Do they stay on or will I be traipsing round the woods trying to find lost boots?
Anyone drive in them?
Thanks in advance.
