Thank you all. I love em too! Bit fiddly to make though?

I really fancy a pair, Ian Stark highly recommends them, everyone at pc hates them as apparently the noise spooks their poor horses! Hence the fact I am really wanting some now!

Anyone know if they would encourage my horsey to pick his feet up on just the odd occasion?

I think they're great, used them on my pony when she had front shoes on. She had to keep them on 24/7, they didnt rub or cause any discomfort, and they dont break that easily...
I got mine in ebay (am big ebay fan....

) as you can get some real bargins

) YAY are they coming back into fashion????
