My horse has an extensive hoof twisting action when he makes ground contact and wears metal shoes unevenly. Can I use Old Mac’s?
A. NOT FOR RIDING, NO. This extensive twisting is a sign of bad conformation and until this can be corrected you should ONLY use Old Mac’s for transportation. The reason being that the amazing traction of Old Mac’s prevents the boot twisting with the hoof. This means that the hoof will twist in the boot, and possibly cause the main webbing strap to chafe in rapid movement. This extreme action is obviously absent during transportation when your horse is only walking.
