A: It’s very common to see ponies turned out wearing overreach boots. If your pony is prone to overreach injuries or the pulling of shoes, then these boots are a good idea!
However, in order to allow your pony to be turned out in overreach boots, you must make sure that they fit properly and do not rub him. You will also need to choose a sturdy pair with strong Velcro tabs that will stay in place. All overreach boots, wherever they are worn, must be removed at least once a day for a few hours to check for any rubs or injuries and, importantly, to allow the hoof some exposure to the air.
