Hello!
Just wondering which you prefer for hauling your ponies and why? Or is there another "boot" you prefer? Looking for the most bang for my buck :) Thanks in advance!

I have both Softrides & Easyboot Trails with pads. Both have their pros & cons. The pads on the Softrides are much thicker, thus more cushion. But my one gelding can't handle the frog pressure so to use them on him I need to carve out the raised frog part. Softrides are MUCH heavier. I think the Easyboot Trails are easier to put on/off because you don't have to worry about aligning the frog on the raised frog thingy. The The Easyboot Trails are much lighter and can be rode in or turned out in. Easyboot Trails are more economical. I have a horse that paws in the trailer and ruined a pair of Softrides. Hope that helps.

You are very welcome. Sometimes the search doesn't pull up results unless the title is exact.

I use both soft rides and Easyboot rx. I prefer the soft rides for hauling or stalling but if I need to turn out for any reason (tenderness, abscess, ice, etc) I much prefer the easyboots, as they are lighter and more durable in my experience.
