I had a call from a friend this morning; she wanted to know what kind of boots I would recommend for her to buy--she's driving a lot on a gravel road now that the weather has turned dry & the ground is rock hard, her gelding is getting a bit tender footed. I told her I'm not much help because I've had no experience at all with the Mini boots on the market, nor have I heard much about any of them. she doesn't have a computer so I said I would post her question for her & let her know what I find out!
I know someone that uses the sabre sneakers, but only for driving short distances on gravel/pavement, then once she's on dirt she removes the sneakers. Will the sneakers hold up to a lot of road work, or are they too soft & will wear out quickly?
My friend was looking at the Bare Boot, the Easy boot and the Barrier Boot...which one will work the best for driving? The catalogue says the Bare Boot is harder to put on than the Easy Boot--how much harder? Is the Barrier Boot easy to put on? Which boot stays on the best? Which one is the most comfortable for the horse? Which one will wear the best/longest?
Please give me your reviews on these boots! (Do Old Mac's come in Mini size? I'm familiar with them, but only in large horse size.)
