Hoping someone can help out here.
For the first time since Ive had her I have had to start using over reach boots on Belle for turn out as she keeps pulling shoes off, but since it's been so wet and muddy they were starting to rub around the coronet band where wet mud was gathering and I assume it is the movement of the boots causing friction that has done this?
I left them off this week to give her a break from them and got her in this morning to yet another pulled shoe... my farrier is on speed dial and I think he's getting almost as fed up of me as I am of having to phone him
So what am I doing wrong with the boots please? I think half the problem is she has small feet but such chunky legs I need a large to fit but then it leaves them flappy around her hoof .... any ideas? Never had to use them before so am a complete boot novice.
