Now the other boot that I'm going to put on, not on every horse, but on some horses, it just depends that if I've got a horse that's proven to me that he has a tendency to want to try to bump himself around the coronet band, right above his hoof, right along the hairline, you know that can create a bit of an injury too, it'll make a horse a little bit sore. I'll put a bell boot on if I if I notice that they're really bumping themselves in that area. And the bell boots go on very, very easily and just wrap around, back to front, just like everything else. You put that on him now, he's protected from that shoe, his other foot, anything that would might hit him, right in that coronet band, that would cause him an injury, even the bulbs of his heels, he can reach up with a back leg and actually catch that heel. That just gives me some protection there to eliminate another injury, or potential for an injury.
