Leg & Hoof Care | Information

The health of the horse's legs and hooves is vital to the outcome of any event or ride. Sportack carries product lines that are specifically designed to aid in the prevention of injury for the long distance and trail horse.

All Easyboot sizing has changed! You MUST re-measure your horse's feet and compare to the size chart below to insure a proper fit!

Easyboot, Easyboot Epic, and Accessories   SHOP NOW!

New and improved for 2005! Using Easyboots is a natural way to provide hoof protection, traction, treatment, cushioning and correction while allowing the horse to go barefoot at all other times. They fit snugly to the hoof, are lighter and last many times longer than standard steel plates. Properly fitted, they stay on as well as nailed-on shoes with an important advantage ? if an Easyboot is pulled off, the rider can put it right back on.

The changes you will recognize in the 2005 generation Easyboot and the Easyboot Epic:

1. The optional Easyboot Gaiter attachment is the largest change for 2005. This new gaiter attachment is an accessory that can be added to all boots manufactured after January 2005. The Easyboot Gaiter is ideal for the barefoot horse, muddy conditions or for a horse who is difficult to keep booted. The Easyboot Gaiter can be purchased as an accessory for the Easyboot, or comes packaged and assembled on the Easyboot Epic.

2. The two vertical "folds" or gussets on the front of the boot (adjacent to the entry/exit holes for the cable) are now open, allowing the front and sides of the boot to flex for easier installation on the hoof and a better fit.

3. The side clips are now integrated with the inside back strap. Side clip covers, to be optionally snapped over the face of the "teeth," are also included with each boot. When used, these covers reduce the aggressiveness of the Easyboot?s attachment to the hoof wall. This would be suitable when the hardness (moisture content) of your horse?s hoof wall is less than optimum.

4. The Easyboot buckle is now drilled to accept a locking pin. The buckle can now be locked into place after the boot is installed.

5. The inside-sole "nubs" are gone, allowing a more natural contact of the hoof?s sole to the surface of the boot.

6. The front buckle rivets are now recessed and will not touch the hoof wall.

7. Easyboot sizing has been fine-tuned. Be sure to measure the hoof and verify sizing from the new chart, before purchasing a 2005 Easyboot. Even if your horse has always worn a particular size in the past, this is an important step to take in ensuring a perfect fit.

Splint Boots   SHOP NOW!

Horses are not always the graceful steeds we see in the movies and on television. They do trip, stumble and knock themselves hard, especially when fatigued. We carry splint boots that provide protection for their legs during those not-so-graceful moments. The styles of splint boots we carry are designed for the long distance and trail horse.
