The best products on the market for these talented breeds include the Epic, the Glove, and the EasyShoe. In fact, many riders have claimed to see improvements in gait after removing steel shoes and transitioning. After hearing so many Easyboot and EasyShoe success stories on Fox Trotters, Standardbreds, Walkers, Saddlebreds, Pasos, and the list goes on, I regret not placing my faith into boots to provide Shadow with all the benefits of barefoot. There are many gaited horse equestrians out there that are as reluctant as I was to try something that could interfere with a perfect gait. As his left hind crossed forward with his right front or vice versa, he’d certainly beat the heck out of something that wasn’t as low profile as a shoe. He needed support across the gravel roads we exercised on, but a boot would be too clunky. He is the perfect Walker and is now retired to the pastures of northern Michigan.īefore the latest advancements in hoof boot technology, I wouldn’t try a boot on Shadow. He was always the horse that my friends who weren’t familiar with horses would ride because of his affectionate, gentle temperament and easy ride. We enjoyed trail rides and attended the occasional show where he would display great movement as a flat shod horse. I grew up with a Tennessee Walking Horse named Shadow. Nonetheless, a vast amount of horse owners who are aware of the benefits of barefoot and/or booted but are hesitant to try it are gaited horse people for many good reasons. The EasyShoes have been successful for many horses that were not a good candidate for boots because of their need for 24/7 protection or a very low interference option. Boots are not for every horse and we know this at Eas圜are.
