Contact Hoof Bootique, they will be able to help. I’m not sure anyone makes them that big though!

cavallo make BFB boots (largest = 182-189) but they don't go large enough (though bigger than others) and I don't think any of the others get anywhere close.

Definitely can't get anything that big if Cavallos don't do them.

the epics size 7 are probably going to be the largest.

For the most part even if you didn't live on a small island you wouldn't be able to pop in and see many of the makes of hoof boots. It is a case of buying them and returning.

The epics are a good boot. I think the first thing to do is to be sure of your measurements. What are the length and width measurements? do you have pics with the ruler on the underside of the hoof to be sure the measurements are correct?

Did you measure just after a trim?
Try mailing photos of the hooves with a measure in place for length/width to Hoof Bootique or Urban Horse and see what they suggest
Some of the boot makers do kits to hire/try on before committing yourself to buying

Boa boots seem to go up to 200mm.
I have the next size down (I think) and used them on my cob, although they were too big really. But she went well in them and were secure.

Could Hoof Armour help the hooves, in the absence of boots? Don't confuse it with keratex - it's a very different thing!

I only know of Cavallo BFB. They’re okay but I had some problems and they’re going to have to be replaced after 3 months. It was hard riding though. If anyone knows of another brand about the same size let me know too.
