Ziggy's new boots arrived a couple of days ago. They are Cosmic Orange Renegade Vipers, very smart. They seem to fit really well and are easy peasy to put on - MUCH easier than the Easyboot Gloves we had before.

Taking them off is another matter! I can manage the top tension strap OK but getting the bottom one undone is a faddle, especially when your pony keeps trying to help by picking his foot up. I'm sure we'll get the hang of it but does anyone have any tips?
 
You don't really need to loosen the bottom one, I slack the Velcro off then as you pull the heel captivator down it loosens itself and the boot comes off easily. Be careful you're not over tightening the toe strap in the first place, you only need to snug it down, I think they say 2lbs of pressure on the cable ends, theres a good video on their website :)
