We have been out with them a few times and he seems fine although their lightly pointy shape is sometimes a little annoying so I shall keep an eye on it and search around a little more for another type that may work with his feet.
Meanwhile 'Mr F' is very much enjoying going out and about and is perfectly fine in traffic as well as in open fields. I am very proud of him and we understand each other better by the day.
Quite happy with new boots (the discolourations on his fur are caused by the light beam)
Mr F looks fairly portly on this photograph but it is in fact his thick winter coat that adds volume.

This look always makes me smile: 'Hey, what are you up to? Does it involve me?'
A stroppy 'Mr F' because he is tethered due to there being other horses in the yard waiting for feeding.
When I am on my own in the yard I do not tether 'Mr F'. He just walks around exploring and sticking his nose into whatever I am doing. He also figured out where the hay is kept and not even the steps up there had stopped him, but he now knows not to go there again.
He does not like to be tethered and personally I do not like to see him tethered. He wants to be part of whatever is going on, he feels left out if he is tied up and makes quite clear that he's not pleased but sometimes there is no other option. I clean his hooves without tethering him; he stands perfectly still, more so than when tethered.
