Hoof Boots

Why Hoof Boots?

More and more horse owners are finding that protecting hooves with shoes is virtually unnecessary. With proper housing, nutrition, and regular trimming, hooves remain healthy and strong. Your horse actually only needs protection for a few hours—why restrict the hoof mechanism 24/7?

Advantages of Going Barefoot

This is no longer necessary due to the advent of hoof boots. Hoof boots should only be used when the conditions demand it (asphalt, rough terrain); your horse does not need to wear hoof boots 24/7 unnecessarily. Horses that are barefoot can have optimal hoof function, better circulation, and faster hoof growth. Additionally, horses without shoes have a better and stronger horn layer. Another benefit of using hoof boots is that horses are less likely to injure each other in the pasture. The pasture is also less damaged when your horse is barefoot.
