- I'm currently treating my mare for a serious bowed tendon - accident
- happened on Oct 25 under another rider and she'll be coming out of
- "solidary" confinement on Christmas Day - or at least that's when
- the poulticing stops (I hope!). I"ve been warned against Prof. Choice
- Boots by my vet - if I do decide to use them, I'm to put them on for
- no more than 1 hour at a time and to not use them in turnout. Logic
- seems to stem from the principle that once you start using support
- of this kind - you have to keep using it.
-
- Anybody else here pros and cons on these boots?
