For these horses, I usually turn to the Glove Glue-On Shells, simply a Glove without the gaiter (instead of other synthetic shoe models) for several very specific reasons: There are times, though, that long-term or even permanent hoof protection is needed. I use these tools in my everyday work, but for most situations I remain a “barefoot and boot man,” as I think this combination yields the best hoof health in a majority of situations.
Healthier than steel, perhaps, but still degrading the foot with their constant presence. I do worry that synthetic shoes will become just another thing that people leave on horses’ feet 365 days a year. These materials are also more flexible, which can allow the foot to function more normally, perhaps leading to increased health of internal structures when compared to more rigid shoes. But these days we have a wide array of materials that will do the job, and most of them are much better for energy dissipation and shock absorption. During the time that metal was the only material we had that would hold up under a horse, metal made a lot of sense as a horseshoe material. In my opinion, the increasing popularity of synthetic shoes – both for rehab and for high performance – is a very good step in the right direction.

The boots require a snug fit and the foot must be dry duringĪpplication. You can also trim them down to custom fit them to your horse's hoof. There are no buckles or straps which makes the boot resemble a second skin over the hoof. The boots are glued onto the hoof wall using a glue such as Vettec Adhere and are designed to be disposable - being used once or twice at most. It is designed to offer traction and protection to horses undertaking speed and long distance events. The Easyboot Glue On consists of a lightweight shell with thin walls than allows the boot to stretch and conform to the hoof.
