okay so my farrier was out and said that my Gelding that got a hoof absess may need boots to protect his hoofs when ridding. he has very large hoofs my farrier has said multiple times they are larger then some drafts he trims. so hed need ones that are very large but will hold up. hes just used for trail ridding and sometimes down the road and for people that dont know how to ride.

anyone use horse boots? that they like and recomend?

Hi,

Yes, I think hoof boots are generally pretty good. As with everything, they don't suit every horse & situation, although there are so many types & styles now that you're likely to find something. Best hoof boot is basically the one that fits your horse for starters, as the vast majority of problems come about due to bad fit. Easycare have a lot of info on their site with regards to this, whether or not you ultimately choose one of their boots, it's worth a look. If you want more specific advice, measurements of your horse's hooves and pics or at least more info on form is needed.

i dont know measurements at the moment, but he has large bell boots pro choice and they are a bit small on him. he will only be ridding a few times a month in the summer then have the winter off. his hoof in the back is very sore and it came off a little bit.

any other info that you need just ask and i can tell you ive owned this horse for 5 years and know all about him..
