Introducing Hoof Boots

Hoof boots come in a dizzying array of models that can be overwhelming for even veteran booters. Popular names include EasyCare, Scoot Boot, Renegade, Cavallo, Old Mac, and SoftRide. Finding the right shoe for your Cinderella depends on a myriad of factors including: whether the boots are for riding, turnout or stall rest, what kind of riding you are doing, the shape and size of your horse's hooves, how they move, and even on your personal comfort applying and maintaining boots. At your boot fitting appointment, we will discuss all these factors and review the pluses and minuses of each option. In general, hoof boots fall into three use categories: recreational riding, performance riding and therapeutic use. Liselle stocks a line of boots for each category; by no means are these the only options for your horse, but they are models Liselle has used on dozens of horses including her own. This working knowledge enables her to guide you to the boot that is best suited to your needs. If you decide to pursue a different style of boot, Liselle may be able to connect you with a rep for that boot who could perform a fitting and would love to hear back details on how you like your choice! Let's look at the line of boots offered by WMF.
