They look dire, but as an owner who spends at least one day a month hunting the fields for front shoes pulled off while going downhill.... sounds interesting.

I would worry about the heels sweating in these. I wonder how they vary from putting some over reach boots on?
Im not saying they are bad. Im just not convinced.

Do they stay on all the time? Or can you put them on and take them off as required? I don't think i would want it attached all the time as yes that might cause problems with heels sweating, thrush etc. But if they are removable then i guess they could be a useful alternative to overreach boots. Although saying that not sure what happens when they fill with mud??  |

I think they are designed to be put on for turnout only, not to be ridden in.
I can see certain benefits but more awkward than a pair of decent over-reach boots.

Hmm, for a horse needing the protection when turned out but who gets rubbed by overreach boots above the coronet then they could be useful.

I also find a lot of overreach boots don't protect the shoe as they are too short. So i guess they could be useful but a bit of a faff especially if the screw hole gets filled with mud \ muck.

Annas i am glad you say that about overreach boots being short, I struggle and usually end up with esxpensive ones as the others are 2 short, problem is they fill with mud, so I currently have 7 pairs in use from wet washed to dry ready for use! i think these look like a possibility.

mjcssjw2, i dread to think how much i spent on various overreach boots just to find they didn't protect the shoe!  I have a large collection now! My horse doesn't wear shoes now and that solved the problem.  |

I have used the shoe secure very successfully on a tb that pulled front shoes off very regularly. They really did the trick and he never lost a shoe whilst wearing them only lost one when my husband forgot to put them on. I had tried over reach boots but he still pulled shoes off. They are easy enough to put on and I plugged the stud holes so as to keep them clean. I used over reach boots as well and never had a problem with rubbed heels. They saved me a fortune in time off and lost shoes.
