I came across a very interesting article on the Australian website www.barehoofcare.com the other day. It talks about how barefoot performance is having a horse able to do what we want it to do in our chosen discipline, but keeping it as nature intended, without a nailed on horse shoe.
The article mentions how barefooting is growing feet under a horse that are fully functional and tough enough to protect the soft inner structures and resist abrasion, even when carrying the weight of a rider. The article states "If a horse's feet don't have the integrity to provide it with comfortable movement, the foot may need to be protected, which nowadays can be done with hoofboots."
Any of the EasyCare hoofboot line, Easyboot, Epic, Bare, Boa or Old Mac would work to help protect your hoof. If you have questions about any of these boots or need help with sizing please contact us at 1-800-447-8836. To read the entire article, please click here.
