Original Easyboot verses 2005 version

From time to time we still get calls from customers and dealers regarding the changes in the 2005 Easyboot.

The optional Easyboot Gaiter attachment is the largest change for 2005. This new gaiter attachment is an accessory that can be added to all boots manufactured after January 2005. The Easyboot Gaiter is ideal for the barefoot horse, muddy conditions or for a horse who is difficult to keep booted. The Easyboot Gaiter can be purchased as an accessory for the Easyboot, or comes packaged and assembled on the Easyboot Epic.

The two vertical "folds" or gussets on the front of the boot (adjacent to the entry/exit holes for the cable) are now open, allowing the front and sides of the boot to flex for easier installation on the hoof and a better fit.

The side clips are now integrated with the inside back strap. Side cleat covers, to be optionally snapped over the face of the "teeth," are also included with each boot. When used, these covers reduce the aggressiveness of the Easyboot’s attachment to the hoof wall. This would be suitable when the hardness (moisture content) of your horse’s hoof wall is less than optimum.

The Easyboot buckle is now drilled to accept a locking pin. The buckle can now be locked into place after the boot is installed.

The inside-sole "nubs" are gone, allowing a more natural contact of the hoof’s sole to the surface of the boot.

Easyboot sizing has been fine-tuned. Be sure to measure the hoof and verify sizing from the new chart, before purchasing a 2005 Easyboot. Even if your horse has always worn a particular size in the past, this is an important step to take in ensuring a perfect fit.

Dear Easycare-Team,

could you send a size chart from the old easyboot (before 2005) to me? The old sizes are fitting much better to my horse...
I hope the easyboot before 2005 is available for a long time....a lot of riders prefer the old boot
With kind regards from germany
