Hoof boots for pony - suggestions please

[DuckToller]

Can't think what these are called, but I've seen some and wondered what people had used and what works best.

I had my old pony's shoes taken off as no-one was riding him, and he is not coping at all well without. Can't get the farrier to come back out before the next booked visit which is still another 3 weeks.

What can I try please?

my friend has these for a laminitc that struggles to walk on hard surfaces

she bought a size up, so they were easier to put on, and she is pleased with them, although they are expensive

There was a recent post about hoof boots, which might help:

If you only need them as a stop-gap then you could always hire a set from these people: http://www.thesaddleryshop.co.uk/D/Hoof_Boots-(Hoof_Boots).aspx.

Or, I think you can hire from Marquis boots (I have heard several folk say good things about them) from these people:

Hope this is of some help!

If you look on the saddlery shop website they give you quite a lot of information on the different types of boots they sell, and also are a lot cheaper than Derby House!

Also look on www.easycareinc.com as this is a really helpful website for finding out about a lot of different boots. Other ones available are cavallo's, marquis supergrip and renegade.

My friend uses Old Macs on her old pony. We have found she only needs them when the gound is hard/frosty.
