If the width is in one size, and the length in a size up or down, you may need to select the larger size or look at a different type of hoof boot. Ideally, the length and width measurement will fit into the same size. I would suggest that you use our Size Chart page as a quick and easy way to look through the size charts for all of the different boots we offer. Sometimes, however, it may be necessary to have two different sizes of the same style of hoof boot to create your ‘pair’. It is not uncommon for horses’ front hooves to have slightly different measurements from each other, but in the majority of cases, the same size of hoof boot will accommodate both sets of measurements. If your horse does not seem to match any of the descriptions below, or if his hooves are a mix of shapes/sizes, look at as many hoof boots as possible to find the ones that most closely fit his shape and measurements. You boot the horses’ feet as pairs, and as the front feet are usually a different shape from the hinds, you will find one style and size of boot will fit the front feet and often a different style and/or size will suit the hinds. With a well fitted hoof boot, you can forget about it once it’s on a badly fitted hoof boot will cause no end of trouble, you will wish you had never bought it.įirst you need to measure your horse’s hooves (see our guide on How to Measure and Photograph for Hoof Boots HERE). Once you have your measurements, look through the information below for our recommendations of the best hoof boots to consider for your horses’ shape.
You may not end up with the hoof boot you had hoped for, but it is much more important to choose a boot that fits your horse. As each type of hoof boot generally fits a slightly different shape and/or size of hoof, you should therefore be able to find a good boot that is suited to your horse. The number of hoof boots on the market has increased dramatically over the last few years.
