Like a glove, the boot hugs the hoof and responds like a natural foot. Fits like a second skin and doesn it add bulk, width or hinder mobility. No external hardware for grass or sticks to get caught in the boot. Material stretches over hoof and clings to wall, keeping debris out even in sandy and muddy conditions. Elastic cap at rear of gaiter fits contours of feel bulb while offering generous proportions of stretch and strength. Reinforced gaiter features a smooth surface and dual layer of neoprene. Ideal for short- and long-distance trails, endurance and competitive rides. Must be carefully sized and fitted to hoof.
