When dealing with foot pain, I have multiple goals: giving the hoof a break from compression forces with the ground, offering support and possibly protecting any open sores.
I can’t claim to have tried every boot on the market, but over the years I have experimented with many different options. I will share with you the boot/pad combinations that have given me the most successful outcomes in horses that needed to wear boots for extended periods. Long-term booting does present challenges, but I greatly prefer it over more permanent options such as glued-on composite shoes or casts. Hoof boots and pads can make sore horses feel instantly better, and can literally be a lifesaver in founder cases. Many have problems such as abscesses and founder.
Know their benefits and challenges.Īs a professional trimmer, I often encounter sore horses. Hoof boots can be a lifesaver for rehabilitating a sore horse.
