Q Can I use the Easyboot Sneaker for endurance?A The Easyboot Sneaker is designed specifically for light and medium mileage riders who ride up to 25 miles per week.
Q Why only 25 miles per week?
A It is impossible to determine a one-size-fits-all mileage threshold because every horse is different, and so is every trail. So the 25-mile designation is not a scientific one. But just as you would not run a marathon in hiking boots, it does not mean that the hiking boots will always hurt your feet. Their size, shape and weight are simply designed for a different purpose. This is also true with the Easyboot Sneaker, which is designed specifically for the pleasure and trail rider.
Q Are the Easyboot Sneaker boots left or right specific?
A No, the Easyboot Sneaker fits on both the left and the right hoof.
Q Do I need to gradually break my horse into the Easyboot Sneaker?
A Give your horse time to adjust to wearing the Easyboot Sneaker. The first time you fit your horse with the Easyboot Sneaker, start by just walking out. Gradually increase the duration and distance of rides wearing Easyboot Sneaker. Too much too soon can lead to chafing.
Q Can I turn my horse out wearing the Easyboot Sneaker?
A Yes, you can turn your horse out in the Easyboot Sneaker either to get him used to wearing or breaking in the boots, or to provide extra protection and support.
Q Are the Easyboot Sneakers worn on all four feet?
A That is really personal preference. It depends on distance covered and type of terrain.
Q Do I require the same size Easyboot Sneaker on the front and rears?
A Not necessarily. Always take hoof measurements as soon as possible after a fresh trim and measure each hoof separately. Correct size selection and proper fitting are very important to ensure maximum boot performance.
Q Can I put the Therapy Click Systems on the Easyboot Sneaker?
A No, the Easyboot Sneaker is not compatible with the Therapy Click Systems.
