Cut it down all the way if you have to.  Then, duct tape around the boot, 
so that any gaps are sealed.  That'll help keep stuff out and also reduce 
the chance of your horse stepping the boot off.

Here are pics of the duct tape/easyboot idea here, on one of my horses that 
takes a size 2 easyboot too:
