I wanted to leave the boot on as long as Ican but past experience with boots is all to do with the weather. since we had a huge down pour here last week and lots of rain I thought I'd better check on the hoofs for wetness. with the ease of the new p3 boot taken them off and on is a breeze except for my horse has that severe right limb that makes it hard for her to place weight on. with the L Extension to that legs it worked well ,tell I was able to pull the boot off and clean.
As exspected some smelly feet the boots seems to work much better with the medicated gc vettec. I had a good amount more in one boot then the other.. that foot was much more dryer after the 20 days of application
I dryed the hoof and installed a newer type of relief insole made out of thin fiber board, then placed in the boot hoof packing and shimmed up the left foot a bit due to a lower heel. cleaned the bootom and inspected the steward plywood bottom... all was in great shape, the wood is a great absorbant and a good shock absorber .
Re-intalled the boots with medicated hoof pack and sent Shadow comfortably back to her pasture. I dont know if that right limb will ever go straight again , due to her old age and nature all I can do is make her comfortable with this new Capsule boot and it has proven very well all hardware is still in tack no loosening to the boot-steward mounting. For you barefoot groupies out there there are a few mounting metel screws inside the boot to the steward shoe, I have no screws or nails in the hoofwall. I have no problem with the Original design application of the Steward shoe screwed on it has proven it self well, it may breath a bit more and absorb moisture more than the glove boot wood is basically down to earth and hey its NATURAL!
