Hi Lori, I tried the RX and the soft ride boots on my halfinger gelding. I would agree to your concerns about the soft ride boots weight. But also the RX were not perfect for my pony: difficult to put

I'm considering different boots for Majik. He's been in Deltas which are too big now. Thanks to Patti Kuvik's generosity, Majik was able to try Soft Rides but the pads are just too heavy. I'm

Helpful, Lesley, thank you. I actually wrote the second article, but do not endorse the links to products that are embedded in it now. They weren't in the original article. Other considerations are

Hi Diane, Welcome to the group. The list philosophy is DDT/E. DIAGNOSIS is by bloodwork. To confirm Cushings aka PPID, you would need an eACTH test. Cushings is controlled by the drug pergolide.
