The Boa Horse Boot™ has been developed with three main objectives:

Unlimited Uses. The Boa Horse Boot™ provides excellent hoof protection for both occasional and everyday riding for the barefoot horse, but can also be used in the correction and treatment of founder, navicular disease, punctures, abscesses, bruises, contracted heels and other impact­caused injuries. It also provides protection during trailering, breeding and a quick fix for the occasional lost shoe.

Ultimate Protection & Retention. The Boa Horse Boot™ has been designed to protect and remain on the hoof during aggressive riding conditions. The Boa Horse Boot™ provides protection to the frog, sole, hoof wall, hairline and bulb area.

Quick and Easy Application. Many of the current hoof boots require tools and strength during application and removal. The Boa Lacing System™ is used on the Boa Horse Boot™ as the primary closure system. The Boa Lacing System™ allows the Boa Horse Boot™ to open large enough to accommodate the wide base of a hoof, allowing for quick application without strength or force. After the hoof is placed in the Boa Horse Boot™, the Boa Lacing System™ quickly tightens with a turn of the dial. Removing the Boa Horse Boot™ is simple: pull the dial, the lace tension releases and the Boa Horse Boot™ is easily slipped off the hoof.

Boa Horse Boot™ Improvements!

• A new “dial-shield” – the protective cap which covers the Boa dial mechanism now screws on, like a threaded bottle cap.
•  There is now a pull-tab at the heel of the boot, similar to those found on athletic tennis shoes.
•  Three small drain holes have been added to the sole of the boot.
•  The optional Boa Gaiters now come in three sizes (the two larger sizes are 7 mm neoprene), and a “hoof-plate” has been added to better secure the Gaiter in the boot.

Boa Horse Boot Sizing It is important to match the width and length of the hoof to the Boa Horse Boot™ size. The front hooves of most horses tend to be more round and wider than the hind hooves. The best fit may require a smaller size for the hind. How to get the correct size boot for your horse:  Measure the width of the hoof across the bottom at the widest point.   Measure the length of the hoof from the toe to the buttress line of the heel.The buttress line is the farthest weight bearing point of the heel.  Compare your measurement with the proper size chart below. If you are taking your measurements in inches, use the imperial size chart. If you are taking your measurements in millimeters, use the metric size chart.  Ideally, the width and length measurement will fit into the same Boa Horse Boot™ size. If the width and length measurements indicate different Boa Horse Boot™ sizes, select the larger Boa Horse Boot™ size.
