Boa Horse Boots – Pair $122.8 The concept of an equine hoof boot is not new — EasyCare has been manufacturing, testing and actively using hoof boots in extreme situations since the early 1970′s. Over the last thirty years, we’ve seen many hoof boots come and go, and we’ve used and studied them as they arrived. Some of these products have potential and very positive design features, while others don’t.The Boa Horse Boot has been developed, tested and manufactured to improve upon the equine hoof boot concept. EasyCare’s successful history in manufacturing and using hoof boots has given us the experience and knowledge needed to develop the most complete equine hoof boot on the market. The Boa Horse Boot is the result.The Boa Horse Boot is the first horse boot to use materials and technology previously found only in modern athletic shoes and snowboard boots. Modern materials and manufacturing techniques, combined with the unique Boa Lacing System, make the Boa Horse Boot the most advanced horse boot ever.The outside tread pattern of the Boa Horse Boot has been designed for traction, yet allows the hoof and lower leg to move after contact with the ground surface. There is a fine line between traction and aggressive traction. Boots or shoes with aggressive traction don’t allow movement of the hoof and lower leg, causing unneeded lower limb stress and injuries. The Boa Horse Boot has been designed to provide traction similar to the natural barefoot hoof. Boa Horse Boots provide traction without injuries.The Boa Lacing System makes Boa Horse Boots easy to put on and take off, and micro adjustments inherent to the closure allow the boot to fit snugly to almost any hoof. Boa Horse Boots fit snugly around the hoof and above the hairline without joint interference during motion.Although Boa Horse Boots have many veterinary and medical uses, they should not be used to hold medications or invasive substances. Many of the medicines used to treat hoof ailments will react adversely with Boa Horse Boot leathers and the urethane sole. |

Davis Horse Boot $29 Horse Boot with Therapeutic Pad. The Davis Horse Boot is ideal for continuous soaking when conditions such as abscesses, thrush, puncture wounds and other aggravated foot conditions exist.The boot also relieves pressure when signs of bruises, corns or cankers appear. The soft pliable upper comforts the leg during use and closes tightly just below the fetlock. The boot opens wide for easy on-off application. The durable triple-layered bottom is made of a tough polyvinyl compound making it usable many times over.SBS equine Products and Davis Manufacturing have joined forces to develop a new delivery system for treating infections of the sole, frog and hoof wall. The secret is the addition of a new pad that fits into the Davis Horse Boot with new fiber matrix technology.When saturated with SBS Sav-A-Hoof Soak or Med-i-Sole gel, the pad wicks the ingredients to the affected area of the hoof without spilling or running. According to Ray Tricca of SBS, the technique is safer and more effective than most other treatments because it promotes a much longer contact time with the hoof without harming hoof tissue.Tricca also said that soaking can soften the hoof and over-soaking with products containing chlorine, formaldehyde, heavy metals, or other toxins can permanently damage hoof tissue. |

Most equestrians when faced with blustery winter weather – be it a harsh blowing wind or freezing snow or cold pelting rain coming out of the Northeast – believe that the best thing that they can do is get their horse under a good equine blanket. If you want your horse to be safe and comfortable through the cold months, then horse rugs are the only way to go.
But it’s worth asking if that assumption holds true. Does it? For all horses all the time?
Well, the simple answer is that no, it does not. But if you want to start experimenting with it, you need to be smart. You need to keep a few important tips in mind about how horses handle the cold and related inclement weather. You need to know a bit about your horse breed and you need to also know how your specific horse or horses handle the weather.
Horse blankets are not bad ideas on their own. In fact, they can be very important. But the fact that so many smart horse people have more or less simply assumed that winter blankets are necessary says a lot about how human beings and horses relate to one another. There are plenty of assumptions at work, all of which need to be critically examined.
Although a lot of equestrians don’t want to admit it, we often do things for our horses that we would want done for us. Things that might not – from a horse’s point of view – be strictly necessary.
Always ask yourself what your horse would do – or want to do – if it was out in the wild. Not that you want your horse to have to rough and tough it unnecessarily, but you do want to keep in mind what its natural inclinations are. Horses are built for weather!
Take a look at your horse’s coat. You’ll notice that if offers the horse a great deal of natural insulation. For most horses, once their winter coat has grown in, they are more than ready for whatever wind and hail and snow that Father Winter can throw their way.
But there are exceptions!
First, if you clipped your horse – or had him or her clipped – just as they began to grow out their winter coat, then it might not have developed sufficiently to handle the weather.
Second, all horses – even those out in the wild – need a good windbreak to help them endure winter. Do you have one? We’re not talking about anything unduly fancy. It’s more like ensuring that there is some place they can go where the driving wind cannot.
If either of those conditions holds true, then you probably want to be sure that your horse has a decent winter blanket to help it through the cold season.
Finally, if your horse recently moved from a climate where cold is not a frequent visitor, then you should consider investing in a blanket.

Are horse blankets good or bad?
I heard that horse blankets can cause rain rot or other fungi to form under the blanket on the horses coat. Some poeple are against using blakets because of this. I live in Texas… So no snow EVER comes. I was just wondering, do horse blankets really cause problems or are they a good idea? Remeberrrr, I live in Ttexas(; Thanks.
I live in the UK and we have had a lot of snow and cold wether eg minus 6 lool. So MOST of the horses have a blanket on but we make sure it is clean some ppl put about 2/3 rugs and blankets on. I agree they should be used Especially in cold weather xx
