Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I choose the right size to ensure my horse doesn't trip?
A: For the perfect fit, the bottom of the boot should sit approximately 1 cm (0.5 inch) above the ground when the horse is standing; this ensures full heel coverage while preventing the horse from stepping on the boot edge. You should also be able to fit two fingers between the boot and the pastern to ensure it isn't too tight.

Q: Are these boots durable enough for daily turnout in the pasture?
A: Absolutely. Crafted from flexible yet tough 6mm rubber, these boots are specifically designed to resist wear and tear in the paddock, effectively preventing "overreaching" where a horse might step on its own front heels and pull off a shoe.
