EasyCare Easyboot Rx

Just the prescription for horses requiring a therapy boot that offers stability and support without being heavy or clunky! Veterinarians, hoof care professionals, and horse owners alike rely on the Easyboot Rx to help horses heal and recover quickly. It provides support and relief for horses suffering from chronic lameness, laminitis, founder, navicular and other lower limb/hoof problems. The Rx is even an excellent choice for those horses that simply have difficulty standing on hard surfaces for extended periods of time. The boot can be used to speed recovery and offer protection after surgery or injury, lessen fatigue and add protection during trailering as well as offer a safeguard in the breeding shed.

The sole of the Easyboot Rx is a combination of durable and soft material, much like that used in human orthotics, in a light weight package. All seams and edges of the upper are rounded for safety. Three air vents provide air circulation keeping the hoof cool while preventing the accumulation of dirt and debris. Each boot comes fitted with an EasyCare Comfort Pad (medium density) to provide immediate relief and additional sole support. Application is quick and easy. The unique upper of the Easyboot Rx folds down and opens large enough to accommodate the wide base of a hoof, allowing for quick application without strength or force.

After the hoof is placed in the Easyboot Rx, two hook and loop tabs are fastened to provide a secure fit. A quick pull on the hook and loop tabs and the Easyboot Rx is easily slipped off the hoof. Each boot has a double Velcro® system that prevents the boot from opening unintentionally. The Easyboot Rx is not intended for riding but can be used for light turn out. These boots are sold individually to allow you to fit each hoof correctly or replace a worn or damaged boot. Color as shown. Please specify size 1, 2, 3, 4,or 5.

Features of the Easyboot Rx:

• Comfort Pad included with each boot
• Aggressive tread with softer sole is suitable for lighter turnout.
• Cushioned sole, similar to human sole orthotics, provides maximum comfort
• Three air vents provide circulation around the hoof

1. Loosen the hook and loop closure at the top of the boot and bend the rear of the boot collar back.
2. Pick up the hoof. Grab the boot from the bottom and slip it over the toe.
3. Push the boot on as far as you can with your hands. Do not pull on the upper material.
4. Place the hoof on the ground to set the heel and return the collar to the upright position.
5. Fasten the hook and loop closure at the top of the boot.

Removing the Easyboot Rx

1. Unfasten the hook and loop at the top of the boot.
2. Pull the boot off by pulling down and away on the back of the boot.

How to measure for the Easyboot Rx:

1. After a fresh trim, measure the width of the hoof across the bottom 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 fit 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, your selected 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.
