EasyCare Easyboot Series Manual

EASYBOOT GLOVE APPLICATION
The Easyboot Glove is a lightweight, slim prole, form-tting boot that is easy to apply.
It was designed to t like a second skin over the hoof without adding bulk or width. This seamless boot hugs the hoof and responds like a natural foot. Flexible and tough, the Easyboot Glove adds traction and protection to the hoof while allowing a free stride and natural breakover. Like a glove, this boot provides protection without hindering mobility.
The Easyboot Glove material stretches over the hoof and clings to the wall so that debris stays out of the boot even through sandy and muddy conditions. No external hardware means that there is no need to worry about grass or sticks getting caught in the boots. The molded urethane cap at the rear of the gaiter ts the contours of the heel bulb while offering generous proportions of stretch and strength.

Fitting the Easyboot Glove to Your Horse
1.
Pick up the horse’s leg and support the cannon bone between your knees so that you can use two hands when applying the boot.
2. Fold the gaiter back to get it out of the way.
3. Using technique rather than strength, place the boot over the horse’s toe and, using a slight back and forth twisting motion, slide the boot on the rest of the way. Put the foot down on the ground and allow the horse to put weight into it. Don’t use the gaiter to pull the boot on. If you are having trouble, please refer to the tting video found at easycareinc.com.
Check for proper t. Make sure all portions of the boot (with the exception
4. of the gaiter) are below the hairline. The boot should be very snug and not twist on the hoof. Do not use the boot if it is loose or if the main part of the boot touches the coronary band.
5. Fasten the Easyboot Glove Gaiter.
» Pull the side of the gaiter with the loop (fuzzy side of the hook
and loop) tightly around the pastern. Notice the end is long and will not be in the center.
» Pull the side of the gaiter with the hook (rough side of the hook
and loop) tightly. This will overlap the rst part of the gaiter that is now against the pastern.
» Fasten the loop strap.
» Pull the hook side over the loop strap.
6.
The tighter the t, the better the boot will perform. Overlap the hook and loop straps as much as needed to insure a tight t and avoid rubbing issues. (See illustration below)
Removing the Easyboot Glove
1. Unfasten the gaiter straps.
2. Slip the boot off the hoof.

This overlapping does not compromise the integrity of the gaiter. When properly tightened, it should be difcult to t a nger between the pastern and the top of the gaiter.
8.
Due to their great deal of elasticity, gaiter straps cannot be over-tightened.

HOW TO MEASURE FOR THE
EASYBOOT GLOVE
1. After a fresh trim, measure the width of the hoof across the sole at the widest point.
2.
Measure the length of the hoof from the toe to the buttress line of the heel. The buttress line is the farthest weight bearing point of the heel where the hoof wall ends. Do not include the heel bulbs in the measurement.
3.
Compare your measurement with the size chart below.
4.
Ideally, the length and width measurement will t into the same size. If the length and width measurements indicate different sizes, select the larger size. If the width and length measurements are different by more than one size, this boot style is not recommended. Be sure to check your measurements against an alternative boot in the EasyCare line – another style may accommodate your horse’s hoof shape better.
Success of the Easyboot Glove and Easyboot Glue-On are determined by accurate measurements and a snug t. Do not assume that if you
wear a certain size in another boot style, you will wear the same size Glue-On or Glove. We have found that measurements are more
accurate and easier to take using the metric system.
