No Pain, No Gain?

On the bright side, once your feet go numb and you build up enough calluses it’s smooth sailing.
So perhaps my hunter friends don’t have this problem since incredibly soft, comfortable boots are the trend in that discipline. BUT, my fellow DQs have likely experienced the hateful burn of breaking in ‘stiff’ dressage boots. For some reason the trend in dressage is for boots to be like stove pipes. *Are you waddling like a penguin? Are your legs sticking straight out while sitting on the horse? Have you successfully sloughed off all the skin on your ankles? AWESOME! Those MUST be super nice boots. ;)*
