Easyboot Sizing


All Easyboot sizing has changed! You MUST re-measure your horse's feet and compare to the size chart below to insure a proper fit!


How to get the correct size boot for your horse:

Measure the width of the hoof across the bottom at the widest point.

Measure the length of the hoof from the toe to the buttress line of the heel.The buttress line is the farthest weight bearing point of the heel.

Compare your measurement with the proper size chart below.

Ideally, the width and length measurement will fit into the same Easyboot Epic size. If the width and length measurements indicate different Easyboot Epic sizes, select the larger Easyboot Epic size. If the width and length measurements are different by more than one size, EasyCare hoof boots are not recommended.

Using Easyboots is a natural way to provide hoof protection, traction, treatment, cushioning and correction while allowing the horse to go barefoot at all other times. They fit snugly to the hoof, are lighter and last many times longer than standard steel plates. Properly fitted, they stay on as well as nailed-on shoes with an important advantage if an Easyboot is pulled off, the rider can put it right back on.

The Easyboot 2005 is the ultimate in hoof protection and one of the most important items you should carry with you on any ride. Prevent lameness and frustration when you lose a shoe far from home and still finish your ride without compromising the health and safety of your horse. Easyboots can also be worn in place of steel shoes or even over steel shoes for additional protection, traction and cushioning on rocks and hard ground. These boots are ideal for horses with laminitis, founder, abscesses and other hoof-related medical problems. Made from durable urethane and in sizes to fit most horses, these boots will outlast any steel shoe!

Overview

In 1970 when Dr. Neel Glass, a nuclear physicist at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratories, found his horse suffering from navicular disease, he began work on an idea that would prove to be a revolution in hoof care for horses.He developed the tough, durable polyurethane Easyboot. The boot is now used for correction and treatment of founder, navicular, nail punctures, abscesses, bruises, contracted heels and other impact caused injuries. It provides excellent hoof protection for both occasional and long distance riding and gives a secure fit for traction on rocks, pavement, snow and ice.Most endurance riders use Easyboots as a shoeing alternative, protection over shoes or as a spare tire when a horse loses a shoe.

The Easyboot has been the industry�s leading horse boot for the last thirty years. During this time period, Easyboots have been used to win endurance races, complete mounted treks from 2,000-18,000 miles in length, provide traction to mounted police units, treat many hoof problems and ride a horse home after a lost shoe. Although the Easyboot concept has continued to improve each year, in 2005 several enhancements were introduced which incorporate testing and feedback from horsemen all over the world.

Changes in technology nearly always occur after the original release of an item � think of the rapid evolution of most electronic toys we own. These changes do not mean you must give up your old boots--any generation Easyboot is a great Easyboot! We will continue to support, repair or replace any boots from the entire EasyCare horse boot line as set out in the EasyCare Horse Boot Return Policy.

Changes in 2005

20% more tread for long wear and great traction!

The optional Easyboot Gaiter attachment is the largest change for 2005. This new gaiter attachment is an accessory that can be added to all boots manufactured after January 2005. The Easyboot Gaiter is ideal for the barefoot horse, muddy conditions or for a horse who is difficult to keep booted. The Easyboot Gaiter can be purchased as an accessory for the Easyboot, or comes packaged and assembled on the Easyboot Epic.

The two vertical "folds" or gussets on the front of the boot (adjacent to the entry/exit holes for the cable) are now open, allowing the front and sides of the boot to flex for easier installation on the hoof and a better fit.

The side clips are now integrated with the inside back strap. Side clip covers, to be optionally snapped over the face of the "teeth," are also included with each boot. When used, these covers reduce the aggressiveness of the Easyboot�s attachment to the hoof wall. This would be suitable when the hardness (moisture content) of your horse�s hoof wall is less than optimum.

The Easyboot buckle is now drilled to accept a locking pin. The buckle can now be locked into place after the boot is installed.

The inside-sole "nubs" are gone, allowing a more natural contact of the hoof�s sole to the surface of the boot.

The front buckle rivets are now recessed and will not touch the hoof wall.

Easyboot sizing has been fine-tuned. Be sure to measure the hoof and verify sizing from the new chart, before purchasing a 2005 Easyboot. Even if your horse has always worn a particular size in the past, this is an important step to take in ensuring a perfect fit.
