hoof boots for occasional use on a pony?

[OldNag]

Have never used hoof boots so would appreciate some advice.
We have an 11hh mature loan pony who has in the past had lami. I am pretty sure she is heading towards Cushings/EMS but with careful management she is doing very well and in daily work and is bf .
She can sometimes get slightly footy on stones. Rather than shoe her I am looking at hoof boots to use on the rare occasions we hack over stony ground. Any recommendations for hoof boots very welcome. Where do I start? Thank you

I'm not the person to advise you on this but have you looked at the SaddleryShop website ? They have info about fitting and the best type to get for your horse/pony.

Just bumping up for someone more experienced in booting to see this thread.

I love easyboot gloves. The key with boots is a tight fit if you don't have that you're Wasting your time. I use a rubber mallet to hammer mine on and they don't budge and I've galloped in mine. I had a trimmer measure my horses hooves so I got the right fit. You can get some good second hand ones in pre loved or from the phoenix forum.

Forgot to say I boot fronts only hinds I find tend to twist

Thank you both. I will report back how I get on.
