Sue, my brief exposure to hoof boots is a lot depends on the anatomy of your
horse, then how young how much energy time you have, Ha. I started out
with the old Macs G. They stayed on lasted a long time, but buckling them was
kind of a pain
, but is a pain to put on. I have to say that
when using a boot, it is not on for a whole day of driving or riding.

For riding, with my warmblood, I have used both Boa boots (which I think they
are not making anymore but you may still be able to find the occasional pair
on closeout) I liked them because they are easy to put on and hold up well.

A good, new rasp, sized to your hand, would make an enormous difference. If
you find you need one in the future, you might want to look here:

Tunix's new hoof boots came yesterday , Cavallos. And they fit, Whew! Much
easier to put on than the Old Macs G2. Tunix loves the boots, picks up his
feet when he hears the Velcro being undone!
I decided to go with the Cavallos after much

Mary,
I've used Cavallo's hoof boots for driving my mare on the road and
they're easy on and off and last a long time. You slip the foot in
and do up the velcro and they're on.

I like the Easy Boot Gloves as well. They are nicely streamlined compared to
the old Old Macs I had her in before. I had to add the power strap to the
front, and they stay on great now. I do have to keep the hooves rasped and

My Old Macs G-2 for Tunix need replacing. His heels seem too high for the
Renegades. (I always thought his heels average in height, they fit my Zoe with
low heels just fine). I'm looking at considering the Easy Boot Glove. Have any
of you tried
.
In addition to this change I
have been giving him two Bach Flower essences before I ride. I do believe
that helps too.
Thanks again for everyone's input!

Hi Robin,
I have used the older Old Macs, the Easy Boot Epics and the
Renegades. I did not like the Old Macs, as they fit too loose and could
spin, and they wore out some nylon strap-hardware areas very quickly.
The Renegades are super

I know some of you were using these boot a couple of years ago. Do you still
like them now that they've been in use for a time? They seem to have a much
better shape (rounder) than any of the easy boots for the Fjords.

Thank you Robin, the Soft Ride boot looks very interesting. Luckily it
looks like we are over the hump now. As soon as I bought the soaking boot
and wrap, she is walking fairly well, maybe a little stiff legged, but
pretty good. Since I can't ride right

This is a very practical discussion of using hoof boots. It avoids the
black and white dichotomy between being shod and barefoot.
It also points out that boots are often helpful in situations where the
horse is serviceably sound working

I have used Old Macs, Boa Boots, original Easy Boots, and Easy Boot Epics on
my 2 Fjords. The reason I have used so many is that I ride pretty hard with
them conditioning and foxhunting my horses, so certain boots do wear out,
