What do ya think?<br /><br />My Boy looks great...and way to go not being afraid of the blue monster, too. Baby Doll is more spooky now than she was when I was riding her. While walking back home, alongside her leased pasture, she was spooking like crazy at the same pasture she was just in. It took everything I had to try and get her attention back on me and kep disengaging her hips. She was all prancy and in a hurry....and with my knee I don't walk fast now. I'm so sore from her silliness. bah!<br /><br />So, yah, way to go your handsome trail pony...and wow! He's got a big ol butt! hehe!<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-26652385752001834472009-07-14T21:54:49.895-07:002009-07-14T21:54:49.895-07:00Just look at the beefy Appy!!

In my experience, regular easyboots without the gator always fall off at some point in your ride (horse usually steps on the back of it). With the gator, they can't pull it off if they step on the back of it.<br /><br />And I found another good reason to wear a helmet the other day. I got dive-bombed by a red-winged blackbird and he hit the top of my helmet! I was glad I had it on!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723871612780795334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-88937280879579573972009-07-13T19:29:05.037-07:002009-07-13T19:29:05.037-07:00{Mary}~ I totally agree.

I don't know how many times I've ducked under branches and what not and been glad I just had my helmet on just to prevent me from getting minor scratches! And actually, for some reason, the helmet and heat isn't really an issue for me. If it is hot enough, the heat will be bothersome regardless- not wearing a helmet won't really change that too much! ;)Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-55167649124162229882009-07-13T18:46:35.918-07:002009-07-13T18:46:35.918-07:00The hotter it gets, the more tempting it is to lea...The hotter it gets, the more tempting it is to leave off the helmet. Then I remember having to get my head stapled shut 7 years ago and put the dang helmet on.<br /><br />I was kind of insulted that a guy I ran into riding thought my wearing a helmet meant I was a beginning rider. I guess I think just the opposite. I've had enough experience to know that no matter how good of a rider you are, you can still come off and get hurt.Mary Olsonhttp://cowgirlbyproxy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-80812690830818826452009-07-13T17:14:45.034-07:002009-07-13T17:14:45.034-07:00{Regina}~ We don't have to go over the blue mo...{Regina}~ We don't have to go over the blue monster, thank goodness!

I really like easyboot epics - I have to use them on my quarter horse mare. I could shoe her too, but I've discovered that the boot route is much less expensive for me. I bought 1 pair for her front feet, and I've used them for a year and a half without one ever coming off on the trail, and I've ridden in some hairy stuff. And they are nowhere near worn out. I think I'll get at least another year or two of use out of them and the pair only cost me $120! And my mare never gimps on rocks when I use them. The best part is that I just take them off when she's in the pasture since she doesn't need them there anyway, and I never have to worry about coming and finding that she's lost a shoe. The boots are really easy to use.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723871612780795334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-24490968669211529922009-07-13T13:26:55.572-07:002009-07-13T13:26:55.572-07:00Your boy's butt is looking awesome!

Yours especially! People who don't ride or hike just don't get what that can do for you.<br /><br />Some helmets fit so much better than others and even within the same brand there are huge differences. My daughter and I have the same brand and hers pokes my head and mine fits great. She feels the same about mine and won't wear it.
