Expert Posts: 1812 Location: Hernando, Ms	Has anyone used them with a bar shoe? I need to cut the frog down to make it fit the shoe right now. I'm scared to do this. That's a lot of money to mess this boot up. My mare will be in a bar shoe until her hoot grows back out. So I have to different sizes for her to try and wear now.

They have several different types of inserts and you may just need a different type. I know they have some special ones for navicular horses and foundered horses. I'd just call and ask.

Veteran Posts: 178 Location: IL	I'm recently in the same situation! Just to clarify, what shouldn't be bent over? When I tried them on for the first time the other day, and they seemed to fit. I'll post pics when I can, can you post pics, too? Just want to make sure I'm seeing things right :)

Expert Posts: 1812 Location: Hernando, Ms	I had to buy 6L to fit the bar shoe that she will only be wearing until the foot grows out. Cut the frog out and it fits. A lot of money for a short time to wear. But its done now.
