Have a pair of clouds. Has anyone ever shipped in these & do they make a difference? have a horse that has mild navicular, is currently sound, but we are looking on going on a 10 hour haul. Trainer is hauling, & although he is good about stopping etc, I have no control over how often or how long.
Any experiences would be wonderful - did they help or hurt or nothing…
thank you
If your horse has previously worn those boots for 10+ hours without a problem, I can’t see a problem with shipping in them. But until you know he can wear them long-term without any rubs, I would not consider hauling in them. Better to use a LOT of shavings on the trailer floor to provide cushion.
My mare has a few pairs of the Soft Rides boots and if I was hauling her for that amount of time she was would definitely be wearing a pair. Hers don’t rub and she used to wearing them for an extended period of time so I wouldn’t have an issue using them.
Does your horse routinely wear the Clouds?
Does not routinely wear them. Has had them on for overnight a few times, but not for awhile-
