First of all, the outside is made of leather, which is a tougher material that will better withstand outside elements and the wear and tear of everyday use.
The Stratus is our most innovative therapy boot to date. Launched in 2018, Eas圜are’s newest therapy boot is the Stratus. The gaiter of this boot is a pliable neoprene which is lightweight and breathable. The pad also has a slight wedge to it that increases the breakover, making those steps a lot easier. Its highlight is the closed-cell comfort pad, which is essentially the equivalent to Crocs for your horse! This pad conforms to the hoof for individualized support through the frog and sole. This boot has made worlds of difference for laminitic horses (find their stories in our blog). When your horse is already stiff and sore from rocking its weight off of a sore foot, the last thing you want is a heavier foot for them to lift! Also, the sole is less than 20 mm at its thickest point, so there isn’t much boot to get in the way of an already difficult stride.
The size #2 boot weighs less than ¾ lb – significantly less than most boots on the market. It’s biggest benefit is that it is ultra light-weight. Released in 2009, this was Eas圜are’s first therapy boot. Now, let’s break down the different boot options! The Easyboot RX One set can dry for half the day while the other is on the horse’s hooves.) (Tip: If you live in a damp environment, and your horse needs boots on 24 hours a day to be comfortable, have a second set on hand to trade off with. Ideally, the boot should be removed every 12 hours to allow it to dry out completely while you check on the hoof. An increase of moisture in the boot not only becomes a haven for bacteria and thrush to flourish, but it also compromises the structure of the boot. Because they are intentionally lightweight, these boots are not suitable for turnout, especially when a horse is capable of cantering and playing.Īlso, since these boots are typically worn for longer periods of time, they need to be kept in a dry environment. A horse needing therapy boots is assumed to be in confinement and not moving around much. Each boot simply offers a different set of benefits that will help you to decide which one will best help your horse walk comfortably again.īefore we walk through each boot option, let’s discuss how these boots are meant to be used. None of these boots are any better or higher rated than the others. Alongside proper veterinary care, an Eas圜are therapy boot can aid in speeding up this process immensely.Įas圜are offers three different boots in its therapy collection: It can be a devastating experience when your horse becomes lame, and it usually marks the beginning of a long, arduous road to recovery before soundness is reclaimed and you can safely hit the trail again.
