Watch out MONK!

Posted by PicasaYou cannot see it in this picture but Psuntana has his boots glued on.  I was using the Gloves but he has a little bit of scratches on the front of his right pastern which rubs and bleeds with the Gloves, so we glued on some shells.  Psuntana is a good barefoot horse and has pretty nicely conformed feet and can go almost anywhere barefoot.  When I start conditioning a horse I like to use the boots to help suck up the concussion and it also means I can take him anywhere without a worry.

Psuntana has been on a couple of 15 to 20 mile rides and is doing great.  He is learning to trot the single tracks and trot down hill.

The above picture is "US" dressed up in western garb which is not the norm for conditioning.
