Hi Tammy,
The gaitors come in sizes to match the size of the boots. Hopefully, you got 
the right size gaitors.
Also, the trick to screwing the gaitors on is to get a guy to do it for you 
;-)
Anyway, now that you have the gators on the boots:
-Spread the sides of the boot as you wiggle the boot on as much as possible, 
making sure it ends up straight.
-Then use a rubber mallet to tap thema couple of times at the toe area.
-Then have your horse put the foot down, that settles the foot in and 
stretches the boot too
-You should be able to pick the foot back up and wiggle the boot the rest of 
the way on.

The next time you use the boot, they should be easier to apply.
