JM :>Now all I have to do is start saving my pennies for next
JM :>fall when all the stores have boots again.  Then I can get
JM :>the paddock shoes and the matching half-chaps.  And then
JM :>all I'll need is a hard hat to be armed and dangerous.  ;-)
And a horse would help (g)!  Great story!  Unfortunately, I tried the Ariat 
paddock boots and felt like I had the most inflexible, combat boot type 
things on.  I hated them!  After all the hype, and my decision to finally 
spend that kind of money on a pair of paddock boots, I was devastated (g)!
Glad your adventure turned out so much better! Maybe I'll give th clogs a 
go....my stall-mucker wears those wool clogs to muck stalls (even in the 
winter!)...I think she's nuts!  Happy walking!
