Boa and Old Mac's Fitting tips

Here are a couple basic tips that apply to fitting the Old Mac's or a Boa Horse Boot.

1.  If you have selected the proper size boot, the boot should pop on the foot when a little pressure is applied.  It should not just slip on and be sloppy.

2.  After the hoof is inserted in the boot pick up the horses hoof and apply some pressure to the boot and try and twist the boot.  If the boot twists easily on the hoof it is too large.  The boot should be snug and resist twisting.

3.  Apply the same principles you use when selecting a hiking boot.  You want a snug fit in both the width and length but also want a little wiggle room.  If the hoof boot is too large in either the width or length, the boot will not work well for aggressive riding or rough conditions.
