Once we get a good snow covering, he'll be fine barefoot again, so this is just a temporary thing, but if I can spare my back the torture, I'd like to. And I can no longer trim myself due to my back problems.Īlso, this is not for grip, it's so he doesn't get ouchy when the wet sand turns to concrete-like footing.

I know there are shoes made of composite materials and glue-ons, but I have to beg and plead my trimmer to come out once a month as it is, there is no way I'll be able to find someone reliable and knowledgeable to come put shoes or composites on. Any tips on making it a little easier on the old back?Īlternatively, do you have recommendations for other types of boots that have a thick, rubber sole like the Easy Boot Gloves, but are easier to put on and take off? I pretty well threw out my back trying to get them off Rusty's hooves (good thing he is a patient horse). The only issue: they are hard to put on and even harder to get off. They work great on hard, frozen ground which is what we have in the ring right now.

I have Easy Boot Gloves for Rusty and Harley.
