Sue Sorger's solution with the EZ boots sounds like a workable one to me.  
Although the boots fit well at the bearing surface the front metal clip is 
placed too high causing constant friction right at the most sensitive part of 
the 
hoof.  Placing the farrier's pad inside or the foam that EZ boot sells just 
might do the trick.  I think I'll try it with mine.  Has anyone removed the 
metal 
"teeth" that grab the hoof wall on the sides.  They hold the boot on tight 
but they sure do some damage to the horn in the process.  I've heard that 
endurance riders remove these clips with no loss of gripping power.  Hard to 
believe 
but has anyone tried it?    Linda
