Does anyone use boots instead of shoes for mountain riding.??What brand??? Thanks.?

There is about a 1/4 mile of gravel (logging road) then its nice soil. I have 3 horses but would prefer not to have to have all 3 shod if boots would work. Thanks.

no cj, this isnt the wrong section.





All my horses are put boots on when i trail ride. Unless its soft dirt. The boots are expensive but if you get GOOD boots they will last a long time. ive always used easy boots and so far liked them.

I use old mac boots... i love them... i%26#039;ve never had a problem with the horses wearing them... they do rub on one of my horses because his a tad to big... so its really important you get the right size... i only use them when i know we are going over some really hard ground... other wise they are just barefoot... here are some links... good luck :)

Reply:I keep my horse shod, I have never tried the boors before but I have tried a rubber/plastic shoes and they glue on or you can have your farrier nail them on as if they were a steel shoe, if they are to big all you have to do is trim the extra off. They are really good I have never had one of them to come off and I have rode through really think mudd, water, sand, gravel, very rough terrain and they are wonders on the black-top. Here is some website look at them and see what you think. Hope his helps

Reply:hi there, Yes i use old macs alot they are a great boot though i only have the older style so i can not tell you what the new ones are like but they look even better, i have use them for horse from TB to QH and they all seem fine, we go trail ridding for up to a week, on very rocky, steep, shealy tracks and some time no tracks they neaver seem to fail, and give them extra grip, through creeks and all, they are great. hope this helps.
