I am so interested to read your post on hoof boots. My guy just went barefoot for the first time, and I am very new to the whole concept, esp. hoof boots. I am ready to order some, but want to be sure of which ones, so I look forward to your post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-80363321679635529242010-06-07T09:22:44.569-07:002010-06-07T09:22:44.569-07:00Happy Birthday, GoGo!

I used to event, have been studying Parelli for about 7 years now, and am super excited to take my mare and all the knowledge I've gained from Parelli and compete again next year.<br /><br />I am also a barefoot believer, and my mare is lucky enough to have never been shod - so I enjoy reading your posts for that reason, too. Because I do NOT believe she should need shoes to compete, but I realize I may need to explore some more options for booting and traction and all that fun stuff when we reach my goal of doing Prelim. So, please do revolutionize the boot market - I would love to see what you have in mind! :-)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your adventures with Gogo! <br /><br />~Sarah from ParelliParelli Centralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687538542012342351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-24152711987437673852010-06-05T04:29:00.119-07:002010-06-05T04:29:00.119-07:00Happy birthday Gogo!

I didn't get my old mare until she was 9, and all she had done previously was race, have a baby, and learn how to be semi-manageable at the walk, trot and canter. Gogo will be going prelim before you know it!Amy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379823583834768209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-16742026393085645052010-06-04T23:22:25.350-07:002010-06-04T23:22:25.350-07:00What a lucky mare!

He has the unfortunate luck of being born on Valentines day. I'm sure he thinks he's a lucky boy, he'll always be guaranteed a peaceful day off for his birthday!<br /><br />I LOVED the video link! Thanks for sharing that! The only thing that helps my obsessing over the care of my horses is tons of knowledge. I want to have all the vet school knowledge in my head, without ever having to use it! Using it means something went wrong...LittleRedMarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925418478175199409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-69808032797914959552010-06-04T12:30:00.432-07:002010-06-04T12:30:00.432-07:00Happy Birthday Gogo!

I think Gogo is going to be like a fine wine... improving with age. ;)<br /><br />I hope your readers check out the link to the lower-leg injuries/boots seminar video on the Eventing Website. Kinda makes me think protective leg-wear for horses is not all its cracked up to be. The presenter's research showed that some boot designs and materials actually increase the risk of concussive injuries, not to mention trapping heat on the legs.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-58872729974838936612010-06-04T11:10:59.027-07:002010-06-04T11:10:59.027-07:009 is not old.

My mare is nine, as well, and even with all her setbacks, Gogo is still WAY ahead of Sofie in her training...and probably way less arthritic, too!<br /><br />Happy birthday, Gogo!

I have been using the Tri-Zone XC boots. I like them because yeah, they supposedly ventilate, but they are TOUGH...if my horse whacks a XC jump or clips himself I dont have to worry. I am skeptical though about all the claims about the vents and cooler tendons and what not...seems too good to be true, you know?Nicku Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006911603623063201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-77284456685005273102010-06-04T07:04:19.637-07:002010-06-04T07:04:19.637-07:00Yay for progress!!!

Solo and I didn't even start till he was 11 and I've watched Karen O'Connor pilot a 19 year old mare around Rolex, you have all the time in the world!!<br /><br />And HEY! Those of us using shoes are still concerned and empathetic -- the barefoot thing didn't work out for us so we just have to use other options. And Solo has never moved better! ;-)eventer79https://www.blogger.com/profile/03160817772061132147noreply@blogger.com
