If you have had the same problem i'd be interested to know."Īpologies, I haven't explained myself very well, I have used boots with gaitors for 6 years with no rubs whatsover. I do love these boots but i have found the corners very hard and sharpe and thats what has caused her injury. On the thread is a photo of my mares injury and also peoples methods of ammending the gaitors so they dont rub. I just want to advise those with these style boots to check your horses because i dont want anyone else to go through the same problem as myself. I put a thread on /about3789.html to see if anyone else had the same problem and if you read it you'll find out they have. She has used other boots with gaitors and we have never had this problem. Anyhow, to cut a long story short i shaved her hair off and found that the gaitors rubbed her raw. I got off checked her and noticed she had a bit of blood on her pastern. A week or so later i put them back on again, went out for a ride (didnt get very far) and thought she was walking funny. I bought a new pair of gloves and they fitted brilliantly, i took my mare hunting and they stayed on a dream. I was wondering if anyone else on here has/had the same problem as myself and a few others. This post was on HHO but probably applies more to people on here who use boots ie gloves, edges and any other easycare ones with a gaiter.Īlthough this was not my thread I had the same problem and it took several weeks for the bloody mess on my pasterns to heal so it is best avoided if possible D
