Abigail, that is a good thought.

When he was first barefoot, and the boots fit better, I didn't have the problem. But as his toes are coming back and his feet are getting smaller is now when the problem seems to be appearing.

I have a new, smaller pair coming, but it will be a bit before I get them...

 

Thanks, for the input.

Lori,

 

Maybe its that they are too big.  Possibly they are loose and flexing back and forth against the hoof instead of sitting still against it.

 

Just a thought,

Has anyone ever had the Epics, or any Easy Boot, for that matter, rub the hoof and cause bruising. No soreness that I can find. But definitely bruising on white hooves. On the actual hoof itself...

I had him vet wrapped well, and the boots weren't too tight, in fact not tight at all. The boots are a bit big, and that is why I made sure I had plenty of wrap on his hooves and heal bulbs. And the boots are not too high up the hoof.

This is the second time this has happened.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,
