Anti-Slip Rubber Horse Hoof Boots Wound Isolation - 2 Pcs.
Give your horse instant, vet-approved hoof protection after surgery, abscess cutting or lost shoes. Hoof boots are moulded from thick, flexible rubber that seals out mud and manure, keeping medication in place and wounds clean. Wide Velcro-backed PP webbing straps let you dial in a snug fit without tools, while a textured sole increases grip on stable floors and yard concrete. Sold as a pair, each boot measures 12.9 × 12.8 cm to suit ponies and small-hoofed horses.
Key Features & Specifications
- Full Wound Isolation (rubber shell) – blocks dirty water, manure and sharp gravel from entering the hoof cavity
- Medication Retention Design – keeps poultices, gels or iodine wraps from washing away in wet paddocks
- Anti-Slip Tread – moulded sole pattern provides extra traction on concrete, mats and grass to reduce re-injury risk
- Adjustable PP Webbing Straps – quick-fit Velcro® fastening adapts to swelling and allows re-use on multiple horses
- Durable, Wear-Resistant Rubber – resists cracking and tearing so each 129 × 128 mm boot can withstand weeks of turnout
- Supplied as 1 pair (Size S) – ideal inner width for hooves ≈ 110–120 mm; simply rinse clean after each use
Ideal Examples of Usage
- Slip on after hoof abscess drainage to keep vet-wrap dry during turnout.
- Protect freshly shod hooves on long road hacks where slipping or stone bruises are likely.
- Use as a temporary shoe when a metal shoe is lost mid-event, preventing bruising until the farrier arrives.
- Shield hooves on box rest; anti-slip tread helps horses stand safely on stable mats.
- Apply during transport to isolate hooves from bacteria on shared trailer floors.
Why Hoof-Boot Is the Smart Buy
Treating post-operative infections can cost hundreds in vet bills—and weeks of lost training. For a small outlay, these reusable boots create an instant sterile barrier, saving money and sparing your horse unnecessary pain. Their tough rubber and field-replaceable straps outlast disposable poultice boots, meaning you buy once and rely on them season after season.
Interesting Facts About Hoof Boots
- Rubber medical boots were first adopted by British cavalry in the 19th century to keep iodine dressings dry on campaign.
- A horse’s hoof can absorb up to 3 × its body weight in impact; flexible boots cushion that force better than bare hoof wall.
- Modern rehabilitation boots like SafeStep allow turnout, reducing the stress that confinement places on a horse’s digestion.
- Studies show that maintaining a clean, dry wound environment can cut hoof abscess healing time by 45 % compared with open exposure.
- Anti-slip treads are modelled on “frog support” patterns, directing pressure toward the natural shock-absorbing frog area rather than the wall alone.
