Mounted search and rescue

[bonnie elster <elster530@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I saw these for
the first time last week & have been considering them.
I too would like a more versatile riding boot. I have
a pair of the original insulated paddock boot Ariat
first put out & they are still my favorite. Wish Ariat
will put them out again. Thanks for the practical tip.
