The Saddlery Shop Showcases The Floating Hoof Boot!

The floating boots available from The Saddlery Shop are a revolutionary new hoof boot, designed to be able to be form fitted to the horses hoof where required, and the only hoof boot made to fit a front or hind foot shape! This said, with fit being paramount with boots, there are occasions when a front boot may be more suited to your horses hind feet and vice versa, so if in doubt please contact The Saddlery Shop or use our hoof boot enquiry form and we can advise which size and style would be best. Floating boots are one of the most modern performance hoof boots, designed in Spain in conjunction with a vet and have been used for top level endurance. Floating boots are particularly suited to barefoot horse owners who are more confident with hoof boots, have at least a partly transitioned horse (at least some concavity) and are looking for a very lightweight, high performance hoof boot. They are not designed to be used with pads (but do have a rubberised inner sole), so are not suited to transitioning hooves, they are designed as ongoing hoof protection being ideal for endurance riders or situations where the horse needs work at speed over varying terrain for long periods. The centre of the boot has an innovative lattice which allows the boot to naturally flex with the hoof as the horse takes a step, and the design of the boot ensures that water is expelled as the horse moves out of the body of water. The shell is very tough, and can be heat fitted and 'slotted' at the front (in a similar way to the 'Swiss' horse boots) to obtain a customer fit and breakover where required. The gaiter of the boot offers a very secure fit, and are a combination of a rubber outer (with spaces for the heel bulbs) and a neoprene 'sock' liner than helps to prevent any rubs. This new design has been shown to eliminate rubbing for most horses, the gaiter design fits higher at the front of the boot allowing for a very secure fit over all terrains. And did we mention that the weight per boot is only around 300g! Available from The Saddlery Shop today alongside a range of Hoof Boots including brands such as Renagade, Equine Fusion, Easycare and much more The Floating Boots are sold in pairs and offered in Black only, priced at £169.99 per pair.
