any recommendations for hoof boots for shetlands?

[4leggedfurries]

Despite all my hard work this year and managing to keep my little shetland laminitis free, the ****tard in the village had to have his fireworks last Sunday after the poxy pagent had finished. Dont normally mind however it appeared he was hellbent on them being seen from Jupiter, they were that big and loud this time that they nearly shook the windowns out of people's houses a mile and a half away and im the next field down!!! So after the ponies had the poop scared out of them and hooned round a baked dry field the shetland struggled for a couple of days and when he didnt get better I put him on box rest. Farrier came out yesterday and this morning to work on him (got the vet coming Wednesday) and the farrier has said he has concussive laminitis as we had problems shoeing him last time, he has the smallest feet I have ever seen on a sheltand the farrier has recommended hoof boots and he will make a frog support to go in them. So recommendations on the best type of boots, never used them before so have no idea... tia x

Have a look here for boots on Shetland - http://www.trelawneequine.co.uk/posts/bertram-in-his-epics/ I have used Epics without a problem but not on a Shetland. If they are really tiny hooves you may be better off looking at dog boots http://canineconcepts.co.uk/en/23-dog-boots

Depends on how small the hooves are, but this is an interesting idea and easy to source!

His feet are tiny. All the ones I have found so far, even the smallest size is too big! Will have to have a word with the farrier and see what I can get away with/have extra inserts.
