In our last blog post we looked at the New Mac Hoof Boot from Easycare and compared it to the Old Mac, I hope this was useful for some of you and that we will slowly be helping to make hoof boots a bit easier to understand.
In this post we are going to take a look at the Equine Fusion Ultimate Hoof Boot, This is a relatively new boot to the market from Norway but has already gathered itself quite the following, Certainly lots of Trec & Endurance riders are turning to this boot when the going gets tough. Lets take a more in depth look at some of its features:
* EASY TO PUT ON IN SECONDS WITH NEW PATENTED VELCRO LOCKING SYSTEM
* SYNTHETIC LEATHER- FLEXIBLE,STRONG,LIGHTWEIGHT,WATERPROOF
* SOFT TOP TO BACK OF BOOT ELIMINATES CHAFING AND ALLOWS FREEDOM FOR THE PASTERN TO DROP AND FLEX
* GREATER SIZE RANGE FROM 7CM TO 16CM.
* CLOSER FIT TO HOOF, FITS HINDS/NARROW HOOVES BETTER THAN OTHER HOOFBOOTS
* NEW SOLE DESIGN COMBINING ULTRA AND PERFORMANCE SOLES TESTED ON ROCKY GROUND AND BY THE EIESLAND ENDURANCE TEAM - FLEXIBILITY ALLOWS DEFORMATIONS OF THE HOOF TO COPE WITH UNEVEN TERRAIN

As you can see this boot has been very cleverly designed to allow the hoof to act as naturally as possible without compromising on hoof protection, They also have been very popular with people transitioning Thoroughbreds from shod to barefoot as the design allows for the typical thoroughbred foot to fit with comfort.
