Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I have the correct size and fit for my horse?
A: Follow the "1cm Ground Rule" for safety: the bottom of the boot should sit about 1cm above the ground to prevent the horse from stepping on it. For the top, ensure it is snug enough to prevent spinning, but loose enough to slide one finger between the boot and the pastern.

Q: Are these boots durable enough for daily turnout in muddy fields?
A: Absolutely. The Shires Quick Fit boots are a popular choice for pasture time specifically because the double-sided closures and robust rubber construction are designed to stay secure and withstand the suction of deep mud.
