EasySoaker Horse Boot

The Easysoaker is designed for soaking the hoof. It has a soft, pliable upper, which opens wide for easy on/off application - and closes tightly with a velcro strap to prevent liquid spilling out. However the plastic can get pretty stiff in cold weather so during the colder months it is best to warm it up before trying to put the hoof in it. When removing in winter you can first apply a warm wet towel to the top for a few minutes, which will allow it to come off easier.

The bottom has a textured surface to prevent slipping. There are also pull straps on the top of the boot to assist in applying the boot.

Sizing

EasySoaker Fitting

Because they can be quite stiff in cold weather you will find it easier if you get a slightly larger size boot, especially if your horse's hoof matches an exact boot size. This also allows more space for bandages and liquids. However, if the boot is too much bigger than the hoof it is more likely to twist around if your horse moves around whilst the boot is on.

Retail Cost

These boots normally retail for approx $26(US) each - larger sizes are slightly more.
