The Boa hoof boot is one of the quickest & easiest hoof boots to apply, & its design is based upon modern athletic shoes & snowboard boots. The boa hoof boot features the unique boa lacing system that allows the hoof boot to be tightened or loosened in seconds. The tread on the urethane sole of boa boot is not as aggressive as some, & ideal for front feet in particular as the boot will allow a small amount of movement which dramatically reduces lower limb stress & jarring related injuries. Leather lined with a very tough outer, the boa boot is an extremely tough hoof boot & is ideally suited to replacing a lost shoe as well as replacing metal shoes on a barefoot horse. The boa hoof boots have a heel tab at the heel of the boot to aid application, drain holes to prevent potential liquid build up within the boot & a dial cover to protect the dial mechanism. The boa hoof boots are sold complete with optional neoprene gaiters which are ideal to use when the horse is breaking the boots in, & also for horses prone to rubbing in the long term. Comfort pads are advised for use in any hoof boot for the most natural & beneficial experience for your horse. For general use a 12mm medium Easycare comfort pad is recommended for boa hoof boots.
