For cross country jumping.
I have an aged th'bred with under run heels. I am working with my vet and shoer. The horse is doing well barefoot, every couple of days, I rasp a little toe trying to help adjust his breakover, and keep rouging the point of the heel to keep the growth from running under. After several months, his hoof is really healthy, he is growing more upright heel. Since the ground is still nice and moist i'd like to stay with this program, but I'm missing out on my cross country jumping. EZ boots work fine on the trail, but I don't know anyone who has actually jumped 3to 3'6" in them. So, real experience with field jumping please. thx in advance ca.
