The EasySoaker Soaking Boot is intended for soaking and medication purposes only.

It should not be used for riding or turnout. If you are considering it as protection for an injury or for a laminitic horse please look at the new Rx Therapy boot instead which is much better suited for that purpose.

 

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.

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.
