Lots of new Hoof Boots from Easycare!



Wow! Easycare seem to have been very busy in their research, development and manufacturing facility! Over the last few weeks they have announced the New Easyboot Mini, New Easyboot Back Country & just last week the New Easyboot Glove 2016.

In this post I will go through all 3 of the new boots in more detail and explain just what is different about them compared to the previous generations (Apart from the Mini which is an entirely new boot)

Starting with the Easyboot Mini, The worlds smallest moulded hoof boot. 

The Easyboot Mini has been designed for Miniature horses, ponies & even foals. It is very lightweight and easy to put on and is ideal for working ponies to provide traction but it can also be used in a therapeutic role when used with a Comfort Pad.

Starting at a tiny 44mm and going up to suit hooves to 76mm Easycare have openly admitted they don't ever expect to recover the costs associated with the moulding and tooling process for manufacturing these boots, But that they simply wanted to offer comfort to all horses, no matter of their size. For this I salute them, Bravo Easycare!

New Easyboot Back Country

This boot is an upgrade on the previous Easyboot Glove Back Country, Designed to be more refined and sleeker with improved features including the comfort gaiter being made of a softer yet thicker material for increased comfort and now coming fitted as standard with a snug strap which is reversible to suit either left or right hoof. It has been designed as a medium to high mileage boot which is equally at home as a pleasure riding boot or performance boot. 



The Easyboot Glove has been Easycare's most popular boot since its launch way back in 2009, It has undergone a few changes and design tweaks in that time but with the New Glove 2016 Easycare have really gone to town with the changes. Out goes the elastic base of the gaiter which has been replaced with a new blended urethane which is contoured to the horse heels and will stretch 500% of its original shape and come back to form. The centre seam has been eliminated for improved comfort.

Easycare say this is the closest you can get to barefoot!
