We've never had a horse injured because a sock came off, but you don't want to be on board if it happens because the horse could trip or stumble.
Don't use Whinny Warmers® or Summer Whinnys® if your horse won't allow you to safely be around its legs!

Do put a plastic bag over the hoof before pulling on the socks. This will make putting them on a breeze! If your horse doesn't like plastic bags on its hoof then cover all the rough places with duct tape and then pull the socks on. Either way, your job will be simple if all the rough parts of the hoof are covered before pulling on the socks!
