Cindy,

    I am currently in the midst of writing an article about hoof boots. Old
Macs are one of the options there are also Swiss Boots, Marquis Boots,
Horsneakers , Sabre Sneakers, Shoop, Davis and many more. Old Macs are good
boots but must be measured and sized correctly. I just used some recently
and mine were too big and caused expensive rubbing. Once they are on the
horses hoof the company will not accept them for return although they are a
very nice and polite company to deal with. If your equine has nice wide
saucer shaped feet then they will probably work. If your horses feet are
more oval shaped I would look at one of the other brands mentioned above.
But be forewarned to measure well for the correct fit. All of the above stay
on better, are easier to put on and less likely to come off or rub compared
to easy boots.
    I have competed in all my HDT, CDE's barefoot this year and have been
amazed at having no problems with traction, wear, soreness, etc.
