Easyboot

Big help in mud

I've used these boots on a couple of horses with long-term hoof issues. Comfortable, great with the thick green pads or with the thinner black bars and a wrap, SUPER durable for turnout (my horses and donkeys are in run-ins and can go out anytime they chooses). It takes a couple of tries to get the hang of putting them on quickly and getting the velcro just right, but totally worth it; try putting baby powder in the boot to help it slip on! I've even put them through the wash when they get gross. I LOVE THEM!

I use these mostly for my OTTB mare who has scar tissue in her left front hoof where her coffin bone was broken. I often leave the boots on her overnight, and sometimes 2 or 3 days when the ground freezes. We have a huge pasture with steep hills, and the horses have to walk through the woods and down into a natural well to drink... and she has never lost a boot! The drain holes do help keep the hooves from getting waterlogged, but if you plan to keep the boots on overnight, you should use an antibacterial/fungal hoof dressing. I use a dressing with wintergreen oil that acts like liniment, putting that under boots with pads makes a big difference in her soundness overnight. I also use the boots on my sound barefoot horses for trailering and riding on pavement. Only thing I don't like about these boots is that the built in gaiter has worn out, so I sometimes have to use vetwrap on her heels. *Measure carefully, and USE THE SIZE CHART!* Boot sizes are not the same as shoe sizes!

Pros: Well made to fit nicely western saddle, a lot of pocket, not a cheap fabric, waterproof, easy access to bottle, love it!

These need to be returned. They are supposed to be the whole boot. Only came with top part. Not usable, and I read the description over and over and looked at a pair in a local tack shop. Also stated in stock and ships in 1 day....Took over 10 days and got told needed to ship from seller when I called and asked where they where
