I then applied Mueller tape as shown in this Application of Mueller tape video. I started by cleaning out my horse’s hoof. What you will need are a few items: two Easyboot Glue-Onshells, Mueller tape, a hoof pick, and a mallet. If your horse’s hoof fits within the measurement of the Easyboot Glue-On you may want to give this experiment a shot. A boot would provide protection in this service but let’s just say you don’t want to use a boot in this situation.

The design will prevent any rubbing from occurring since it sits below the hair line. An example could be a two or three-day event, a barrel race, a trail ride, or an event that requires hoof protection below the hairline (dressage/jumping). In some instances, you want below the hair line contact you get out of a Glue-On product but you don’t want to actually glue it on.

Of course, this isn’t an Eas圜are recommended modification but it is something that has been successful in a few cases with our customers and I have personally seen success up to this point. I wanted to be able to say I have seen this method work successfully with my own eyes. One of these modifications I have decided to try on my horses. But as customers provide feed back on personal experiences, we are able to pass that information along. In this blog, I am going to talk about my experiences with modifying the Easyboot Glue-On using Mueller tape.Īs the manufacturer, we prefer to stick to strict guidelines on how boots and shoes are used in order to get the best results. There are customers out there who have learned to modify our products to fulfill their specific needs. However, if you don’t have access to a hoof care practitioner or if you don’t have experience with preparing the hoof for glue, using this method can be more hassle then temporarily booting. We have a wide variety of EasyShoes to serve multiple hoof shapes and purposes as well as the Easyboot Glue-Onand Love Child. For those who want a longer hoof protection, gluing on products is a great option. Others go barefoot as much as possible and only use the boots on rare occasions. Many of us have just adapted to it, making it part of our saddling routine.

Applying boots each time you go out to ride can be troublesome, especially if you have some of the tight-fitting boot styles such as the Easyboot Gloveor Easyboot Epic. I am sure each Easyboot user out there has endless stories, good and bad, about booting. Submitted by Eas圜are Product Specialist, Jordan Junkermann
