About the Boa Horse Boot
The concept of an equine hoof boot is not new -- EasyCare has been
manufacturing, testing and actively using hoof boots in extreme situations since
the early 1970’s. Over the last thirty years, we’ve seen many hoof boots come
and go, and we’ve used and studied them as they arrived. Some of these products
have potential and very positive design features, while others don’t.
The Boa Horse Boot™ has been developed, tested and manufactured to improve upon
the equine hoof boot concept. EasyCare’s successful history in manufacturing and
using hoof boots has given us the experience and knowledge needed to develop the
most complete equine hoof boot on the market. The Boa Horse Boot™ is the result.
The Boa Horse Boot™ is the first horse boot to use materials and technology
previously found only in modern athletic shoes and snowboard boots. Modern
materials and manufacturing techniques, combined with the unique Boa Lacing
System™, make the Boa Horse Boot™ the most advanced horse boot ever.
The outside tread pattern of the Boa Horse Boot™ has been designed for traction,
yet allows the hoof and lower leg to move after contact with the ground surface.
There is a fine line between traction and aggressive traction. Boots or shoes
with aggressive traction don’t allow movement of the hoof and lower leg, causing
unneeded lower limb stress and injuries. The Boa Horse Boot™ has been designed
to provide traction similar to the natural barefoot hoof. Boa Horse Boots™
provide traction without injuries.
The Boa Lacing System™ makes Boa Horse Boots™ easy to put on and take off, and
micro adjustments inherent to the closure allow the boot to fit snugly to almost
any hoof. Boa Horse Boots™ fit snugly around the hoof and above the hairline
without joint interference during motion.
Although Boa Horse Boots™ have many veterinary and medical uses, they should not
be used to hold medications or invasive substances. Many of the medicines used
to treat hoof ailments will react adversely with Boa Horse Boot™ leathers and
the urethane sole.

Replacement Boa Laces
Hard riding in rough terrain can sometimes result in frayed or broken laces.
Fortunately, a broken lace does not mean the end of the line for your Boa Horse
Boot™. New lace kits are available. Either install it yourself, or ship
your Boa Horse Boot™ back to EasyCare for installation. Please specify your Boa
Horse Boot™ size when ordering.

The Boa Horse Boot™ has been developed with three main objectives:
Multiple Uses. The Boa Horse Boot™ provides excellent hoof protection for
both occasional and everyday riding for the barefoot horse, but can also be used
in the correction and treatment of founder, navicular disease, punctures,
abscesses, bruises, contracted heels and other impact caused injuries. It also
provides protection during trailering, breeding and a quick fix for the
occasional lost shoe. We do not recommend this boot for endurance riding.
Ultimate Protection & Retention. The Boa Horse Boot™ has been designed to
protect and remain on the hoof during aggressive riding conditions. The Boa
Horse Boot™ provides protection to the frog, sole, hoof wall, hairline and bulb
area.
Quick and Easy Application. Many of the current hoof boots require tools and
strength during application and removal. The Boa Lacing System™ is used on the
Boa Horse Boot™ as the primary closure system. The Boa Lacing System™ allows the
Boa Horse Boot™ to open large enough to accommodate the wide base of a hoof,
allowing for quick application without strength or force. After the hoof is
placed in the Boa Horse Boot™, the Boa Lacing System™ quickly tightens with a
turn of the dial. Removing the Boa Horse Boot™ is simple: pull the dial, the
lace tension releases and the Boa Horse Boot™ is easily slipped off the hoof.
Caring for your Boa Horse Boots
Properly cared for, a pair of Boa Horse Boots will last for years. In general,
to care for your boots, there are three steps to follow: cleaning, drying, and
conditioning.
Cleaning: On a regular basis, brush away surface dirt with a soft brush. After
extended, rugged use, wash with mild soap and warm water. Be sure to rinse all
soap off before drying.
Drying: Open boot fully, dry at room temperature. Never expose to heat!
Conditioning: Recommended treatment for top Grain Leather: NikWax Paste Wax.
