Borium is by far the best thing for snow and ice to keep a horse from slipping. If there is anyway, you can get borium studs or have the farrier attach borium somehow to the bottom of those easy boots it would help. But your boots are very well used and they look like they do need replacing, I didn't see any traction left on them. Here we use borium on the driving animals in the winter on reg shoes since easy boots won't fit mule feet easily. EDIT-i guess your question is hard to understand, you are wanting to know what the best outcome is right? Ppl use cauks all the time on shoes, they make cauks for easy boots why can't your farrier attach borium to the cauks. I don't see cauks being bad when you are only out riding in the winter with boots that come on and off. Or glue a shoe to the bottom of the boot like your fellow friends do with borium attached. I guess I don't see all the issues. I never used grips with my EB that I had for a horse years ago. But mine had traction left on them which yours don't. It looks like you really need to replace your boots. If it were me, I would use either borium attached to the EB cauks, or the glued on shoe.
It's funny how many of you bass guys say Ugly Stik is not a good rod. Well, maybe it's not good for fresh water because the price ain't high enough but let me tell you, pro's and even T.V. celebs use this rod to make a point. The old school rods are heavy and cumbersome, that's true, but if you get the newer models in you hands and work it for a minuteyou'll understand the difference. No worries about the rod snapping. Sensitivity?? Please!!! , you got a brute who will slap his biatch up at the slightest twitch of the tip and capable of snatching a jaw bone from the sister if she got in the mix. All in all, don't under estimate the Ugly Stik, they've been around for awhile, rods have been designed using their platform, they are still here and will be for long time. A pretty name don't mean squat if you ain't down to get UGLY. ; ) ~good luck catchin'.
