Horse Hoof Boots

The Boa Horse Boot, Easyboot, Easyboot Epic, and Easyboot Bare are all designed to be used as alternatives to metal horseshoes. They all provide excellent hoof protection for both occasional and everyday riding, but can also be used in the correction and treatment of founder, navicular disease, punctures, abscesses, bruises, contracted heels and other impact caused injuries. In addition, they provide protection during trailering, breeding and are a quick fix for the occasional lost shoe.

• The advantages of the Boa Horse Boot are ease of application and removal. Boa Horse Boots will also stay on when fitted to the abnormal shaped hoof.
• Although Easyboots are more challenging to apply and remove, all portions of the boot fit below the hairline and eliminate rubbing on extended rides.
• The Easyboot Epic was introduced in 2005. The Easyboot Epic is essentially the Easyboot with Easyboot Gaiter attached. The Easyboot Epic is ideal for the barefoot horse, muddy conditions or for a horse who is difficult to keep booted.  
• The Easyboot Bare is new for 2006. The Bare is a close fitting boot perfect for the barefoot horse and long distance rider.
• The EasySoaker is the best choice for holding medication and soaking.

Other Other important considerations when selecting a hoof boot:

1. If you want to ride long distances over difficult terrain, the Easyboot Epic is the best choice.
2. Potential rubbing with the Boa Horse Boot

   The Boa Horse Boot works best when fitted with a Boa Gaiter. The Boa Gaiter minimizes the chances of rubbing in all conditions.

3. The Boa Horse Boot has similar recommended uses. Here's two tips for choosing the Boa Horse Boot:
   1. The Boa Horse Boot is quick and easy to fit.
   2. Boa Horse Boots are better for horse's feet if they are slightly longer than wider than other horse's feet.
4. Endurance riding or rides of extended length or time:
   1. Although the Boa Horse Boots have been successfully used for endurance-type distances, EasyCare does not recommend using them more than 25 miles per week or per ride. Without due diligence in use, Boa Horse Boots can cause rubbing above the hairline.
