Hello
I have a horse that has had to have his shoes taken off.
I've been looking to into getting him some hoof boots like boa.
Can anyone make any recommendations to which is the best

I am wondering why your horse had to have his shoes taken off. If he/she is having trouble wearing shoes you may need to try someone else as your farrier.

Hello
Thank you for your response
He had to have his shoes of because he got sore heels and the pressure of the shoes wasn't helping. He's 20 years old now but still very active.
He's had his shoes off a year and now his heels are alot better so I'm not going to put shoes back on but I would like to take him out riding.

I have never used hoof boots and do not know enough about them to make a recommendation. What I do know from experience from other horse riders that leaving them natural is the best. Good hoof care goes a long way beyond a good boot or shoes.

Hello
I totally agree. I've taken his shoes off over a year ago and his movement is alot better.
Its a little stoney where I ride him and I just want to put something on when we go out.
Thank you for comments
