The Boa horse boot is the first hoof boot to use materials and technology previously found only in modern athletic and snowboarding boots. The Boa hoof boot utilises hi-tech materials and manufacturing techniques, which combined with the unique easy to use Boa lacing system, make Easycare’s Boa one of the most advanced hoof boots in production.

The Boa horse boot provides excellent hoof protection for both occasional and everyday riding. The Boa is not however recommended for endurance riding, a discipline more suited to the Easyboot range of hoof boots. The boa is also a very useful tool in the correction and treatment of founder, navicular, puncture wounds, abscesses, bruises, contracted heel and other impact related injuries. The Boa boot is also able to provide protection during transport or breeding, as well as being invaluable to replace a lost shoe. The Boa hoof boot has been designed to protect and remain on the hoof during aggressive riding conditions. It helps to provide protection to the frog, sole, hoof wall and bulb areas of the hoof.

One of the most important features of the Boa horse boot is the ability to apply and remove it quickly and easily. Many hoof boots need special tools and/ or strength during application, but the Boa lacing system allows the boot to open large enough to accommodate the wide base of the hoof easily and without strength or force. Boa horse boots are supplied with a pair of neoprene gaiters, ideal for use on thin skinned horses prone to being rubbed, or with thin pasterns. The optional gaiters are also very useful when first using new boots, or on a longer than usual ride (the same way you would wear socks with new shoes to prevent rubs). All moveable parts are replaceable on the Boa horse boot, please see the accessories for the full range.
