Looks like Bo is doing just Great for you! I've still to try the larger captivators~ Karen, If not for the color, I’d think you were riding in the late spring!

I agree with you about being able to go barefoot sound without the boots. One of the biggest factors for me going to boots is that she IS sound completely barefoot. I was only putting shoes on her because it was required, not because she needed it. So now we do all of our conditioning barefoot and I have the boots for rides (first booted ride in 3 weeks). I do use the boots in conditioning rides where there's alot of rocks. No need for the hoof wall to chunk out any more than necessary. If I didn't trot unless there was no rocks, I wouldn't be able to trot at all. I'm very nervous about using the renegades in the deep sand of desert gold, but I guess I'll find out just how well they work!
