Before ordering an Easyboot Glue-On shell or an Easyboot Glove it's a good idea to order a "Fit Kit" to determine the perfect size for your horse. The Fit Kit is a great, inexpensive tool that allows consumers to pre fit each bare hoof before purchasing an Easyboot Glue-On or Easyboot Glove.
The Fit Kit takes the guess work out of measurements and helps you see in 3D if a hoof boot fits or not. A good fit should look like a second skin on the hoof. A good fit of the shell will give you the impression that you could ride in the shells without adhesive or a gaiter.
I've attached a short video showing a perfect fit of the Easyboot Glue-On shell. These shells are not glued in place. Even without glue, a good fitting shell will give you the illusion that the shells will stay in place for a non aggressive ride. A good fit minimizes the glue needed and simplifies the gluing process. This video shows how your shells should fit before applying the shells to the hoof with adhesive.
If you can't at least walk your horse in the Glue-On shells you probably have the wrong size.
You guys nailed your shell design. I was using another glue-on design and fit was marginal. There is no way I could do that. I used a bunch of glue to make up for the marginal fit. I just got your fit kit and have to say I was impressed with EasyCare's design. I will be ordering glue-on and Gloves.
