The Easy Soaker

We recommend sizing up when purchasing an EasySoaker.

Sizing up one to two sizes allows extra space for bandages and liquids to be used inside the boot. In addition, a larger size makes application and removal quicker and easier.

Medicinal applications only.  NOT intended to remain on when horse is turned out or being ridden.  Please consult a veterinarian for all injuries.

Available in small, medium, large, X Large and XX Large.  Other sizes are available as special orders.

HOW TO GET THE CORRECT SIZE: 

To determine the proper size boot for your horse, measure the width of the affected hoof, across the bottom at the widest point and from toe to heel. Choose from the recommended EasySoaker size chart.

EasyCare recommends sizing up when purchasing an EasySoaker. Sizing up one to two sizes allows extra space for bandages and liquids to be used inside the boot. In addition, a larger size makes application and removal quicker and easier.

Note:  The Easysoaker is NOT designed for riding or to be left on when the horse is turned out it is merely a medicinal boot.

How to apply the easy soaker boot:

Prepare the hoof: Thoroughly clean hoof with hoof pick. Apply any bandages or medications directly to the hoof at this time.

 

 

1. Putting on the boot: Loosen the webbing and hook and loop closure at the top of the boot, allowing the strap to move freely.

    

   Slip the boot over the toe and use the pull tabs located at the top of the boot to pull boot on.

   

    

    

2. Place the hoof on the ground to set the heel. Pour or add any medication into the boot at this time. Secure the boot and contents by tightening the strap. Secure the strap with hook and loop closure after tightening.

   

    

    

3. Removing the EasySoaker: Unfasten the hook and loop to release the strap. Pull the boot off by pulling down and away on the back of the boot.

   

    

   Important: The EasySoaker is intended for soaking and medication purposes only. It should not be used for riding or turnout. You should practice application and removal of the EasySoaker before use with medications to insure a proper fit.
