Meet the Inventor
| David MacDonald obtained his Diploma in Horseshoeing in Oklahoma, USA,
under the tutorage of leading equine veterinarian and master farrier Mr.
Jack Roth.
Mr. Roth was also a farrier to the United States Army for many years. Under Jack's guidance David learnt the importance of knowing the anatomy of the lower limbs of horses and the importance of proper foot care. In his profession as a farrier, David has dealt with owners of horses in all disciplines and their frustration with various hoof problems that often lead to pasture or stable confinement, or, at worst, premature retirement. Problems include: |
 |
- Brittle hooves
- Arthritis
- Ring bone
- Side bone
- Bruised soles and hoof walls
- Jarred shins
- Corns
- Laminitis
"Like the human athlete, feet are the most important part of man and horse alike. A horse's well being is directly related to its feet. Driving nails into the hoof of a horse causes loss of conditioning to the hoof wall and potential trauma to the horse. I knew there had to be a better way of protecting not only the hoof wall, but also the entire hoof."
Thus the birth of Old Mac's Multi Purpose Horse Boots.
After having developed the concept and design of Old Mac's Multi Purpose Horse Boot, David consulted world-leading experts in regular footwear production, This has resulted in leading edge, high performance, highly durable materials being used.
"In all my years working with horses and as a farrier, I have seen many products attempting to overcome the problems associated with horses' hooves. Since early Egyptian days, people have been trying to develop hoof protection to ensure their horse's soundness.
"Now the ultimate in hoof protection is finally here.
"Old Mac's Multi Purpose Horse Boots can be used in all disciplines, in all conditions. They are easy to fit, economical and practical. Old Mac's will extend the working life of your horse."
