The following information will help you measure your horse's hooves in order to select the correct size boot.
Measure the length of the hoof from the toe to the widest part of the frog. This universal measurement works for healthy, underrun and low heels.
Measure the width of the hoof at the widest point, making sure the ruler is parallel to the heels.
Repeat for each hoof that you want boots for as measurements often vary between hooves.
Taking measurements both before and after a trim is ideal. Alternatively, take them straight after a trim and then add 1/8" (4mm) for growth.
If the length is longer than the width first use the length measurement to select the corresponding size, then use the width measurement to decide if you need the regular or slim.
If the hoof is wider than it is long, then you will need to choose the size that corresponds to the width. For example, a hoof that is 12cm long and 12.5cm wide would need the size 13 boot.
Please contact us if you need help with the measurements.
To double-check your measurements you are welcome to send us a photo of each hoof with a measuring tape or ruler in place as shown in the photos below. Be sure to include the whole of the (clean) hoof in the shot and have the camera parallel to the hoof. Photos of the hoof on the ground taken from the front and side are very helpful too.
Can I also use the Recovery boots for riding or driving?
No, they not suitable for exercise, only turnout or trailering. If you are looking for a boot that is suitable for rehab and riding then we recommend the All Terrain Ultras.
What is the expected lifespan of the Equine Fusions?
This depends on the horse, terrain, and use. Some horses are very heavy on boots which can mean more frequent replacements, however the Equine Fusions are a very high quality, well made boot with a durable rubber sole, which makes them last very well. When used as a turnout boot, the lifespan is generally between 6 months to 2 years with 1 year being the average.
Are the Recovery boots left or right specific?
Yes, they are sold in pairs with a left and a right boot.
Do I need to gradually break my horse into the Equine Fusions?
Unlike many other brands of boots, the Equine Fusions generally do not require a break in period. However, we always recommend a few short sessions to ensure the boots fit correctly before undertaking more extensive wear.
Do I need boots on all four feet?
That is really personal preference. It depends on distance covered and type of terrain. Many owners just use them on the fronts but some horses prefer to be booted on the hinds too.
Do I require the same size Jogging Shoes on the front and rears?
Not necessarily. Always take hoof measurements of each hoof separately. Correct size selection and proper fitting are very important to ensure maximum boot performance. Many horses have smaller hind feet.
Are the Recovery boots comfortable for my horse?
The Equine Fusions are the most comfortable boot on the market as they feature a unique rubber sole. This is a big advantage over all other plastic-soled boots as it allows the sole of the boot to flex with both the ground and the hoof providing protection and stimulation, without the need for pads. The uppers are also very soft and ergonomically designed which prevents rubs even with extended use such as in rehab situations.
Can I use the Recovery boots over metal shoes?
We do not recommend using the Recovery boots over shoes. The Actives can be used if necessary, but it does void the warranty as metal shoes can cause damage to boots.
Can the Recovery boots get waterlogged?
No, you can add drainage holes at the sides of the sole of the boot to prevent this.
Do the Recovery boots offer good traction?
Yes, they offer superb traction on all surfaces including aggressive mountain terrain, creek beds, asphalt and loose gravel, and studs can be added for increased traction on ice or slick grass/mud.
How easy are the Recovery boots to put on?
They are very easy to put on as they have a simple zipper closure and elasticated strap.
Are the Recovery boots comfortable for my horse?
Yes, provided the boots fit properly. All materials are flexible and soft against the pastern and the sole also flexes and absorbs shock with each step.
Are the Recovery boots good for snow and ice?
Yes. Unlike plastic-soled boots, the rubber sole does not get hard in the cold weather so it provides excellent traction in snow. Studs are also available for sheet ice conditions.
Will sand or gravel get into the boot?
The upper on the Recovery boots is very form fitting and tall which helps prevent debris getting in.
