Equine Fusion Active (pair)

Very impressed with these boots and the little eyelet fastening is a lot better than previous Velcro and buckle designs I have had

Great boots and a happy horse. The service the team provided in selecting the correct boots for my newly barefooted mare was invaluable. No hard sale, or trying to sell me more expensive boots, just good honest advice and support. Thank you, will definitely be using you guys again.

I have a horse with very difficult feet. I have always had her with shoes on as I event this mare regularly so was reluctant to try anything else. My farrier tried pretty much every which way of shoeing her possible but she was just constantly coming in and out of lameness. I had the vet check everything and all came back fine! Appaloosa's are renowned for having pretty rubbish feet and my farrier eventually said I really do think you should try her barefoot. I thought at this point I would most likely have to retire her as there was no way she would manage barefoot. That is when I got in touch with Liz. Liz is just a wealth of knowledge and after a fab consultation and seeing my mares feet, Liz recommended a few to try. I got the fit kit and tried all the ones Liz had suggested, who then continued to support me with which ones were the best fit. We went with the Equine Fusion Active and from the very first time I put them on, I had my old mare back! She was instantly happier and I was over the moon that after such a long time of struggling with issues with her feet, this product made all the difference. I cannot thank Hoof Bootique enough for all their help, and for giving me back something that no money can ever buy, I got my girly back and have had no issues since!

Why do you keep taking down negative reviews, its not fair to other buyers of these boots, we purchased them because the previous boots were amazing, easy to use and fit. The new style boots are no where near as good as the old version. Very hard to fasten, if you have any sort of hand arthritis. not disappointed in the help and service from the hoof boutique, just disappointed in what was my go to for hoof boots to have been taken off the market. ---- Response from Hoof Bootique, posted 9/10/24: Hi Stefanie, When receiving reviews, if we think we can help resolve the topic of the review we first get in touch to offer help before approving them. We were in touch on 15th March 2024 to offer to take back your Actives and offer alternatives, but we never heard back from you so your previous review has now been approved with a response. The Active is a popular model which works for a lot of our customers, but we understand it can be quite tricky to do up with arthritic hands. We also miss the older All Terrain model you previously used, but Equine Fusion have discontinued this model. There are lots of different hoof boots which are easier to use with arthritis though, so we would have been happy to find a solution. Many thanks, The Hoof Bootique Team

After using Equine Fusion for many years, I tried a pair of the Active, - frankly they are going in the bin, really difficult to use, the yard staff will not fit them and have refused to use them. Waste of money. ----- Response from Hoof Bootique, posted 9/10/24: Hi Stefanie There are many of our customers which do prefer the Active as they are smooth on their innermost side and don't catch on the opposite hoof, so I am sorry to hear that they were not suited for your needs. We are sorry for the delay in posting this review, we contacted you on 15th March 2024 to try and help resolve the issues you were having with the boots and offer to take them back for a Store Credit. We also offered to advise on an alternative model, but we have not heard back from you as of the 9th October 2024 . Many thanks, The Hoof Bootique Team.

These boots have been a game changer for my TB who is super sensitive. Unfortunately his pair have only lasted 5 months - he galloped around the field the sole of the boot where it is stitched came away from the leather upper . No injuries or such like and these boots have been well used as he has been in the solidly during wet weather (in at night) so they come home and are washed and dried ready for the next day ! Also - I have found them at really hot weather they make the foot sweat which has caused rubs on bulb of heels and coronet band which I rectified by putting g a cotton sock over his hoof before putting the boot back on . The socks need changing everyday to keep the foot fresh … it has been quite funny putting my own socks on my horses feet lol ? but whatever works ? Anyway - just about to buy pair number two!!! The only thing that would be great is if I could buy these fusion boots one at a time!!! as only one boot needs replacing at the moment ! Apart from these things the boots are my horses slippers and he loves them! Thankyou - Hi Kayley, Thank you for leaving this review, I am sorry to hear that the boots have broken at the stitching after only 5 months use. That is fantastic to hear he has been getting on so well with them though! As discussed via email, we will be replacing these under Equine Fusions 12 month warranty for you. Our felt pads are a great option when boots are getting sweaty in hot weather, as they help to wick away the moisture. https://hoofbootique.co.uk/felt-pads-6mm-pair/ Unfortunately the Actives are a difficult model to stock as single boots, as they are left and right specific. However the Equine Fusion All Terrain are a model that are sold individually. https://hoofbootique.co.uk/equine-fusion-all-terrain/ Many thanks, The Hoof Bootique Team.

This is my second pair of these boots that I purchased through the Hoof Bootique. My first pair are still going strong after one year but I needed another pair for her hind feet. The product has worn well and after one year all the fastenings still work. The only disadvantage is using these boots in winter. They do not drain through so are not helpful in deep muddy going or through water. You need two pairs to alternate to keep a pair dry.

This is my second pair of this brand. The extra strap gives a more secure fit. I love the tread on the boots and my pony is striding out confidently in them. Great advice from Liz and super fast postage

Think my Shetland Bob is on his 3rd pair of these and they work really well for him. The clasps are a game-changer (previously he had a pair that only had velcro and over time that gets mucky and less sticky) and mean they stay on really well. He is a 9 regular and also has pads in and they dont rub or cause any problems. On the rare occasion they have rubbed (normally because his hoofs are a strange shape - growing out from a laminitis attack) Ive simply put a pair of socks on him and then the boots which works well. When recovering from laminitis he will lift his feet up to let me put his boots on so I think he approves too. When dry - and if needed - I put them on him in the field to go out, which is helpful especially if the ground is hard (this only obviously if hes sore-footed). He also does light exercise in them and seems way more comfortable with them on than off. I recommend them especially if you have got a pony who is prone to laminitis/sore-footedness and need some extra cushioning underfoot whether in the stable or out.

Very good service but would be so much better if a fitter could come out and fit hoof boots as it would save time and postage and would be a better service.
