How do you use protective boots on horses?
=Most protective boots, if they are the front boots, have velcro straps that connect the boot. The boots should have a part that the fetlock goes into, this piece will be a little area that looks like a bump. Place the fetlock in the bump and then wrap the boot around the leg and attach the velcro to the opposite side of the boot. They should be as tight as possible but you should be able to get a finger in them. =
What exactly are splints in horses legs?
Its when their cannon bone splits a little, and it is a small piece of bone sticking out. For a while it will cause them discomfort and it will be kind of squishy if you touch it, and the best way to ease the pain is to put splint boots on them when you ride or turn them out. After a while the splint will turn back to bone, and it wont hurt them anymore. But there will be a permanent bump from it. The bump wont do much, you will just get a couple points off in conformation classes.
