help keep excessive sand and dirt out of the Boa Horse Boot. It can also
be used on horses with thin skin that have a tendency to chafe. Note:
When using the gaiters they tend to take up 1/8th inch of space so if
you are on the borderline of sizes consider this and go the next size

Sizing the Boa Boot:
THE GLOVE
Easyboot Glove: A revolution in hoof boot design. This form-fitting, seamless boot hugs the hoof and responds like a natural foot. Flexible and tough, this boot adds traction to the hoof, while allowing a free stride and natural break over. Like a glove, this boot provides protection without stifling mobility. The Easyboot Glove material stretches over the hoof and clings to the wall so debris stays out of the boot, even in sand and mud. No external hardware means there’s no need to worry about grass or sticks getting caught in the boots. Because the boots have no hardware or fastening system, achieving a good fit is more important than ever. There are only 4 millimeters (the thickness of three dimes) of width difference between sizes. Studs are available for winter riding. Sizes, #00 - #3. Sold individually. Item # HB-GV – Price $55.00 (price includes Gaiter)Easyboot Glove Fit Kit. These boots are called the “The Glove” for good reason; they fit like a glove. Therefore sizing is critical and, so you to achieve a good fit we have a sizing kit available. All we need from you is your horse’s or mule's foot size (in millimeters from side to side at the widest point – the width on a clean foot after a trim) and your credit card number. We will then send you an instruction guide along with three test boots (without the gaiters) one size up, one size down, and the size you measured so that you will be able to match an exact fit. Your card will be charged $8.50 for one-way shipping and a return stamped, self-addressed envelope for returning the sizing boots. Failure to return clean boots within 30 days in a will result in a full retail charge to your credit card for the boots. Easyboot Glove Size Chart For more fitting details
The Original Riders Rasp: This rasp is not the less expensive disposable model, but the good model. When the blades become worn, you can simply replace them and continue to use this rasp. The Riders Rasp features an ergonomic design that fits all hands, has a soft grip with no slip sides to protect hands. The rasp uses finish files, which are great for rounding or beveling the hoof, maintaining hoof form without the risk of removing too much. Perfect for the natural hoof/ barefoot rider. The rasps are 52 - rockwell hardness and the protective plate is stainless. With 3 yrs of testing, this tool is tough. Item # GR-RR – Price 43.95

THE LAST WORD... ----- Original Message ----- We made it to the hills and back!! Hot but we rode in the morning before it got too warm! How was your trip to ND?? Just sending you an email to let you know I am returning the larger of the two boa boots - I'm also returning the two sets of gaiters - there was a set of gaiters in with the boots. The smaller ones worked out GREAT! We rode all types of terrain and went up and down rocks, through water and mudd - I was a bit paranoid at first I kept checking to see if they were still on - but the most we had to do was tighten them a few clicks after riding for a bit. I think they're better than shoes actually as it protects the entire foot - our tender foot boy was leading the pack and doing so willingly!! Also, out in the dry grass horses with shoes on were actually sliding because the grass was so dry and with the boa boots he didn't slide a bit - same goes for when we had to cross the pavement road - others were sliding and he just walked right over it with out missing a beat. Thanks a bunch - you saved the day!! Pepper >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ----- Original Message -----
Dear Cathy, I enjoyed our phone visit last Monday. The BOA boots I ordered then, arrived yesterday, and I'm very pleased with them. Misty, my 26 year old sweetheart, began walking almost normally as soon as I put them on, and this afternoon we had a very short ride, our first since November. The boots were very easy to put on, as you'd said. I was afraid that might be a problem, but it wasn't. Attached is a picture. My el cheapo WalMart camera doesn't do very well on cloudy snowy days like today, but it was such a treat to me, to see her saddled and moving more or less normally, that I couldn't resist. Thanks again. Lynn Hall
----- Original Message ----- Hi! Just wanted to check in and let you know that the Boa boots that I purchased from you in November have worked quite nicely. You were kind enough to sell the set of "studs" to me at cost if I were to report to you on their performance. The studs have been quite aggressive. But in my case aggressive is what I needed. I live in a pocket of Northwest Colorado where the weather can be quite severe. I have a mare that suffers from arthritis in the stifle and I find that balancing and using her hind end to thwart slippage on the ice "hills" around my place can cause her a lot of pain. I’ve only had to use the studded boots a couple of times (and only on her hind feet), but so far, so good. With her weight, the studs seem to "dig" into the ice and it gives her a little more traction so that she doesn’t have to use her body to do so. As the studs are quite aggressive, I take them off of her as soon as it snows over or the ice melts. Application of the studs to the boot was not necessarily difficult, but kind of a pain in the bottom as one must work within such a confined space. I’d love to see a "slip-on" kind of attachment for the studs rather than having to permanently alter the boots by putting holes into them … As the season progresses, I will follow with more feedback. Thank you and happy New Year to you and yours… Sincerely, ----- Original Message ----- Hey, Cathy - just thought I'd drop a note to let you know how pleased I am with my Boa boots. I LOVE them! A friend of mine liked mine so well she bought some too. They literally sell themselves. There is a group of us from down here (El Dorado AR) who will be spending spring break at Cedar Lake Equestrian Camp in Oklahoma. That's were we met you last year. The only one who you might remember would be my brother - he's the most rememberable - tall slender, kept kidding you all about riding in your underwear instead of wrangler jeans. And I believe he helped you break into your trailer or motor home when you locked yourself out. Or was that one of your companions he helped? Anyway, the dates of our spring break are March 20th thru 26th. Hope you can make it down. Jamie
----- Original Message ----- Cathy, Went to Blowing Rock, NC, for a long weekend ... great carriage trails meander up to the Moses Cone Manor. A great spot. Anyway, the trails were not rocky, but had small cinder stones. First day I rode with my SWISS boots on the front. "My princess" got on to one trail with lots of cinders and practically went down every fourth step in back.So next day, on went the SWISS in front and the Size-2 BOAs with gaiters in back. Trails were great after all that rain except for the uphill thru mud to get to the trail. Well, we lost the cap to one of the BOA's in the mud and was nevermore seen. But the rest of the trail was no mud (or shallow mud), so we continued. The BOAS worked ... we took a trail we could not do the day before. Now, I have need to get extra caps ... do you sell them separately? I think I need to keep a few spares around. As to the fit, I recommend that anyone using the gaiters consider a larger size. That gaiter seems to take off an eighth inch in length. The size-1 BOA's have an excellent, almost custom, fit on the back without gaiters. With gaiters, they won't go on. That's why I used size-2 on the back. Having no size-3 for the front I used my SWISS boots. (I may send back one pr size-2 and one pr size-1 and get a size-3, but will let you know end of week when I try the boots again having gained some experience working with them.) Peggy
