GAITER TROUBLE?
When applying a Boa Boot with the Gaiters it really helps to be able to use both hands, (as is with any of our boots). If all else fails, fold the gaitor over the top of the boot and duct tape it to the boot while you put the boot on. A thin pad in the boot, on top of the hoof plate may also help to hold the gaiter in place.
My Boa Boots have rubbed a sore place on the top of the hooves at the hair line in an oval shape. It looks like it has taken a few layers of the hoof off. Also the back of her hoof does not fit deep into the boot so the boot is slightly wrinkled in the back. She measures a 2; should I go to a 3?

Based upon the information given, it does seem that your Boa boot maybe a size too small. If the boot is not properly applied, this could cause rubbing issues. Please take careful measurements after a fresh trim and review the Boa Boot sizing chart.

Boa boots are great! So easy to use. The only problem is with the gaiter. The material isn't long enough to go the whole way around the leg, and as the front 'tongue' has the scratchy velcro on the inside it rubs against the leg.
