You can get plastic boots that cable tie over the poultice and hoof. I can't for the life of me remember what they are called though....

Yes they would do the job too, the plastic things look so much more robust though... This yearling likes to bust my shetland out of his belly flap (takes it off his rug...) so could see him undoing it... Will see if local place has them if not will order them! :)

The plastic ones do look like a good idea don't they?
