The Easyboot Glove is a lightweight, slim profile,
form-fitting boot that is easy to apply.
It was designed to fit like a second skin over the hoof without adding bulk
or width. This seamless boot hugs the hoof and responds like a natural foot.
Flexible and tough, the Easyboot Glove adds traction and protection to the
hoof while allowing a free stride and natural breakover. Like a glove, this
boot provides protection without hindering mobility.
The Easyboot Glove material stretches over the hoof and clings to the wall so
that debris stays out of the boot even through sandy and muddy conditions.
No external hardware means that there is no need to worry about grass or
sticks getting caught in the boots. The molded urethane cap at the rear of the
gaiter fits the contours of the heel bulb while offering generous proportions
of stretch and strength.
Sold Individually.
EASYBOOT GLOVE APPLICATION
Fitting the Easyboot Glove to Your Horse
1. Pick up the horse’s leg and support the cannon bone between your knees
so that you can use two hands when applying the boot.
2. Fold the gaiter back to get it out of the way.
3. Using technique rather than strength, place the boot over the horse’s
toe and, using a slight back and forth twisting motion, slide the boot
on the rest of the way. Put the foot down on the ground and allow
the horse to put weight into it. Don’t use the gaiter to pull the boot
on. If you are having trouble, please refer to the fitting video found at
easycareinc.com.
4. Check for proper fit. Make sure all portions of the boot (with the exception
of the gaiter) are below the hairline. The boot should be very snug and
not twist on the hoof. Do not use the boot if it is loose or if the main
part of the boot touches the coronary band.
5. Fasten the Easyboot Glove Gaiter.
»
Pull the side of the gaiter with the loop (fuzzy side of the hook
and loop) tightly around the pastern. Notice the end is long and
will not be in the center.
»
Pull the side of the gaiter with the hook (rough side of the hook
and loop) tightly. This will overlap the first part of the gaiter
that is now against the pastern.
»
Fasten the loop strap.
»
Pull the hook side over the loop strap.
6. The tighter the fit, the better the boot will perform. Overlap the hook and
loop straps as much as needed to insure a tight fit and avoid rubbing
issues. (See illustration below)
7. This overlapping does not compromise the integrity of the gaiter. When
properly tightened, it should be difficult to fit a finger between the
pastern and the top of the gaiter.
8. Due to their great deal of elasticity, gaiter straps cannot be over-tightened.
