Alternative Hoof Protection

If you think nailing metal shoes on your horse’s feet is the only way for your horse to be comfortable, I have good news. The use of hoof boots is becoming more and more popular as more and more educated horse owners turn to natural hoof care for their horses. Hoof boots are kind of like our sneakers. They allow the hoof to function as it was designed, yet offers the protection needed for riding on terrains that the horse is not accustomed to.

Hoof boots also provide comfort while a horse is transitioning from metal shoes to barefoot. They can also help speed up the healing process. Hoof boots allow you to keep riding your horse while your horse is transitioning. If you visit the section on this website about Paddock Paradise, you will see how to get your horse’s feet tough enough to ride almost anywhere without boots. If you are not able to set up your own Paddock Paradise, then the hoof boots will get you and your horse where you need to go.

There are many boots out there to choose from. When it comes to choosing a style or a brand, you need to choose what is best for not only your horse, but one you are comfortable using as well. I am an official Easyboot dealer. I can help you choose from any of the Easyboot line. I will personally measure and fit your horse and you don’t buy the boots unless you know they fit and you know how to use them. Keep an open mind.
