I don't know why either. I think (unless someone proves otherwise in the course of this thread) weight is being added to horse's legs to change their natural way of going under the guise of "protection" with some of these boots. Now, I'm not saying anyone who puts bellboots on a horse is trying to manipulate it. But beyond the weight of the generic "normal" protective bellboot everyone uses in other breeds, the intention for their use gets very suspect. -- Renee M. in Michigan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
