Even the best boots are likely to fail if the size or hoof shape they are being used on is not right for them, as they tend to get trodden on or fall off/break so it is better to choose one that, although not your first choice appearance wise, you know is a good fit measurement wise.Ĭan I use hoof boots over shoes for a shod horse?
I like a certain hoof boot but my horses measurements don’t really fit into any of the sizes, can I still use it?Įvery type of hoof boot as its merits, but a hoof boot that fit’s the size and shape of the horses foot most closely is more likely to give miles of stress free riding than a hoof boot that doesn’t fit properly. We attach instructions to every boot to explain how to try it for size and keep it pristine, boots that are tried without care and are returned with any marks or dirt on unfortunately cannot be refunded (this does not effect your statutory rights). You are welcome to return the boots for a full refund as long as they are restored to us in the same condition we sent them in. If you have a longer than recommended trim interval (ideally you trim frequently enough to never need nippers) then again the larger size may be more appropriate.Ĭan I return the boots if I buy them and they do not fit or I don’t like them for any reason?
If however, your horse has fleshy heel bulbs, is big boned or has very under run heels, you may find the larger size a better fit. If the width and length fit into both sizes, go for the smaller size as this will offer the closest fit and we have found that they work best with a tight width in particular. My horses measurements are at the top of one size and the bottom of the next size up, which size will work best? If in doubt, we would always advise you to contact us via our specialist hoof boot enquiry Form Here and our booting expert will be able to help. If you go for the smaller boot in this instance, you risk rubbing or not being able to get the boot on at all.
If one measurement is in the smaller size, and one in the larger size, you must go for the large size or ideally look to see if another hoof boot is more appropriate. My horse has his width in one size, and length in the next size up/down, which size should I choose?
