Best Use
Designed for aggressive use over varying terrain that consists of long-distance riding or other high concussion disciplines. Catered to handle high mileage (about 50-100+ miles) during a single day or over a week, these hoof boots have a low profile design and provide a secure fit to protect hooves from issues caused by increased riding time.
Best for low to mid mileage riding (<25-50 miles a week), these hoof boots are for more casual use. A great replacement if your horse loses a shoe on the trail, while traveling, or at home. An ideal option for the tender-footed horse or as extra protection during light turnout. These are not designed for aggressive or 23/7 use and should not be used in such cases.
Designed for near-constant 23/7 use to protect hooves during a variety of turnout conditions. A horse is more likely to damage or pull off a hoof boot by playing, chewing, rolling, etc., when turned out at liberty. Regularly take turnout hoof boots off for evaluation and maintenance, and allow them to air out in between uses to help prevent bacteria buildup.
These hoof boots provide the ultimate hoof comfort during medical treatments, stall rest, rehab, or trailering. Aimed to treat a variety of pathological issues to offer relief and concussion support, commonly to lame horses. Therapy hoof boots are not intended for riding or exercise and should not be used in such circumstances.
Give your horse more comfort and support in each step with the EasyCare 6MM Comfort Pads. These pads are an excellent way to provide extra protection and cushioning inside your hoof boots. The pads are recommended for any horse with a history of being tender-footed, or for one recovering from various hoof ailments, including laminitis and navicular.
The comfort pads provide frog and sole support and increase circulation, which may accelerate healing time. The pads also provide cushion and protection for horses who will be going over challenging terrain, and for those transitioning from shoes to bare hooves.
These pads are universal and can be trimmed easily with scissors to fit into every style of the EasyCare line of hoof boots including the original EasyBoot Easyboot Glove, Easyboot Trail, Easyboot Grip, Easyboot Edge, Easyboot Epic, Easyboot Bare, EasySoaker, Boa Hoof Boot, Old Mac’s and Old Mac’s G2.

Comments: I used the firm red pads in my easyboots as a standard practice. It helps protect the sole, but it also stimulates frog growth because it forms around the frog in a way that the boot wouldn't do by itself. Just make sure to keep your hardware tight on your boots, as sometimes the extra cushioning in there can cause a little more pressure on the bolts. I keep a screwdriver close and tighten up hardware so they don't come off. I recommend all Glove users use these pads for a healthier foot.

Comments: These really helped my horse during a barefoot transition to be more comfortable in his hoof boots. They lasted a long time, considering he was in them for about 22 hours out of the day. They are really easy to fit. I cut them to fit the EasyBoot Trail Hoof boots and they fit perfectly.
From: Chris - California, USA
Comments: Easy to cut - however there are no lines for the sizes on gloves (only Old Macs & Easy Soaker). They do seem like they will not last too long which is a bit of a bummer (I got medium firmness). But my horse seems to like them.
From: Michelle - Sunnyvale, California, USA
Comments: My horse does seem the like the pads and they help make the boots fit better. They don't last long though. I tried the medium firmness and only got 3 rides out of them. Going to try the firm pads next.

Comments: easy to cut and fit, whish they would last a little longer for the price.
From: Sissi - Greenwell Springs, Louisiana, USA
