Are Old Mac’s G2 worn on all four feet?
A. Most horses will only need Old Mac’s G2 on the front feet as the front feet bear approximately 70% of a horse’s body weight during rapid movement — this action causes most concussion-related injuries to the front lower limbs. If you intend riding your horse over considerable distances, or frequently work on hard or uneven surfaces, you may require Old Mac’s G2 on all four feet. If you are competing at a top level in any discipline, it is advisable to take full advantage of the superb traction on Old Mac’s G2 outsole and use boots on all four feet. Not only will you and your horse have the added benefit of security and comfort, but fitting Old Mac’s G2 on the back feet can increase the arc of the back hooves, therefore shortening the stride and allowing the front hooves to clear themselves after breakover. This is a great advantage to horses that overreach at high speed. For transportation it is recommended Old Mac’s G2 be worn on all four feet.
