Using Hoof Boots

Just a short video to show how quick and easy it is to use hoof boots and how well the protect my horses feet. i use cavello simple horse boots. i got them because they are cheaper than the others and easy to put on, and have good drainage and traction for the long rides i do over variable terrain. they do, however, rub my horses pasterns if i dont use pastern wraps (consider them as your horses socks). I've found his feet and boots dissipate shock much better than metal shoes, he's only been barefoot 2 months now, he transitioned really quick (only sore for 1 week on normal footing, thats unusually quick) and he also jumps much more confidently since ditching metal shoes and can do extended trot now that he can land heel first.

would u reccommend a very sore TB getting these boots over conditional shoeing // how long do they normaly last for an average rider !?

@SirDodds Sorry i took so long to get back to you. I would always recommend bare over shoes. shoes prevent the hoof from performing their natural action (i.e. contraction, expansion, shock absorption, blood puming etc). If your horse is very sore, you have to ask why? Most of the issues that cause TBs to be sore relate to their premature shoeing before the completion of their development, not genetics. My boots do many miles and i still have the pair in this video! (nearly 2 years).

@TheMillChurch well a lot has changed since this video was made. if you sub to my new account (this one) i have just put up a basic trimming video and have a lot more stuff coming, including laser tips, boot fitting etc. several videos in the pipeline as well as heaps of me riding barefoot performance horses. :) Sure I will have a suitable video for you very soon.

@ftw216 hi there, a lot has changed since i made this video, i'm now a barefoot specialist and stock and sell and fit the cavallo and easy care ranges. so i can order in my own cavallo pastern wraps these days ;) if you google cavallo you should be able to find a supplier close to you.

Where did you get your pastern wraps from ?

Would be nice if the video wasn't in fast motion and could see how you were putting the wraps and boots on better.
