The Easyboot Medical/Therapy boot is almost complete. We made a couple changes and tweaks to the last design and are very happy with the results. The major changes were improvements to the three air vents located at the front and rear of the boot. We also improved the upper fastening area to be a double lock system that flexes with leg movement.
There are some other great medical therapy type boots on the market but I believe the EasyCare Medical/Therapy boot will offer the following advantages. First, the upper is completely padded against the hoof and lower leg of the horse. Second, the air vent system allows the hoof and lower leg to breathe without dirt and debris entering the boot. Third, the fastening system is secure but flexible. Next, the boot will include an EasyCare Comfort Pad. Additional comfort pads or different comfort pad densities can be purchased for an affordable $12.00 per pair.
We intend to distribute some samples to our Hoof Care Practitioner dealers to help with final testing. Release dates will depend on the final testing results.
The boot is intended for the following applications.
1. Cushion, protect and support the hoof during episodes of laminitis.
2. Keep the hoof injuries clean and dry.
3. Protect hoof bandages.
4. Protection and comfort during transportation.
I would like to know when we can buy these boots. I have 2 horses that need something like this.

These boots will be available late in 2008. I'll post more as we get closer to launch.

Any further news for Team Easyboot members who would like to test the boot?

Is there anyway getting a pair of these boots to try. I have a 28 year old Arab mare that gets sore in the summer. I need to keep boots on her to help her out. I was going to try the soft ride but I like the looks of these better. Please get back to me soon or E-Mail direct. Thank you for your time
