Sure enough - I had little marks on the inside of the fetlock. Not very many - she's differently getting better, but they were there. For the next ride I put the boots on her. It was a very sandy ride and I'm glad I used them, because between her interferring and the gritty sand, it actually wore the inside velcro straps off in places! She's built narrow in the back with cowhocks so I'm not sure I'll ever be able to remove them permenantly. Probably if I decided to ride part of the ride completley barefoot without shoes or boots, I would take the hind boots off. The front boots are a different story - she doesn't interfere up there and doesn't need them so she doesn't wear them unless there are mitigating circumstances - like some of the terrain at Tevis.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-84030016919219933102010-01-10T10:30:48.486-08:002010-01-10T10:30:48.486-08:00Very interesting, thanks!Very interesting, thanks!Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-79927847615522741392010-01-09T13:11:55.577-08:002010-01-09T13:11:55.577-08:00Have you tried Farley without the shorter hind int...Have you tried Farley without the shorter hind interference boots since switching from nail-on shoes to the Renegades?
