I Don't Brag Posts: 6960	Can anyone tell me if they know of an easy boot type boot that can be left on basically full time? My new horse ripped a front shoe off twice and now there is not enough foot to nail to. He is quite gimpy on it. I have looked in to a glue on shoe but am afraid of further damaging the integrity of the hoof even more. It should grow out fairly quickly if protected. Sooo is there a brand of boot that I can ride and turn out in? I would like the chance to rice this guy since I haven't been able to for the last two months and I have only had him since April.....sigh. Am worried about chaffing as well. Suggestions please.

There is no boot that says you can leave the, on 24/7. I have a chronic founder who has to wear boots all winter. I use old macs with gator inserts. I vet wrap an iodine soaked pad onto her sole to prevent thrush, and change every 3/4 days. Never had an issue.

I Don't Brag Posts: 6960	This horse is turned out 24/7 which is why I am looking for a "full time" boot at least until his foot grows enough to nail. I saw an Easy Boot that "says" it can be ridden in for a long time (think endurance race?). Is that the one you are thinking of? Thanks for the responses.

I rode my old barrel horse barefoot and had boots in case I wanted to trail ride with friends outside of my own pasture. Easy Boots rubbed a spot on his heel within minutes of our first ride in them. Luckily, I had a barefoot trimmer I used that was good about having lots of different kinds of boots to try. I ended up with Renegades for him. Loved them. They fit him to a T, but you have to be careful if your horse has access to loose gravel like in a creek bed. The gravel can get inside the boots. I didn't leave them on him 24/7.

Elite Veteran Posts: 912 Location: Alabama	I have done 24/7 for a few months on a couple different horses with the easy boot glove. They were correctly sized by my farrier and then heat fitted as well so we had a really nice snug fit. No issues. If they don't fit just right you will have issues keeping them on in the pasture as well as riding.
