| Hey Soft Ride Boot users! I have seen people use them on just the fronts and all the way around. What's your preference? |

| Short hauls, like under 2hours I use fronts only, anything longer, I do all 4 feet. It's just me being lazy I guess..but I will not trailer without fronts on at least, since they carry most their weight on their front feet |

     Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I've only ever used them on the fronts. I think they are a true lifesaver - used them on a broodmare that was foundering, a gelding that had shoes pulled and was sore on frozen ground, and my recent broodmare that they trimmed way way too short before shipping. I have 2 sizes on hand. I think 5 and 6's |

       Location: Kansas | Love them!! My top rodeo horse has bad feet and can easily come up sore from standing on hard ground or rocks too much, so he travels ALL THE TIME in his Soft Rides all the way around. If he's stalled at an event, he's got them on. If he's standing at the trailer on anything but soft grass, he's got them on. They are a lifesaver for him. I like them so much that my other horses have their own Soft Rides as well. My little horse wears a 7 Long, the gray wears a 6 Long, and my big sorrel (the only one with good feet LOL) wears a 5. The little guy only has a front pair, but the others have full sets because I've had those horses longer and honestly I used to own two other horses who wore size 5 so I have 3 pairs of them. |

         Location: Bandera, TX | I love my Soft Rides. However, my horse now has pads on her front feed. I wonder if SR would stil help with vibration in the trailer? Thoughts? |

     Location: TExas | I do both. Depending on how many horses I have going. If I have 4 they just get fronts. If I have 2 they get all the way around. |

       Location: Georgia | I just use on fronts since that is where the majority of their weight is carried. |
