Equine Fusion All Terrain Ultra (pair)

I just got the second pair of Ultras (for fronts only). Use daily for minimum 6h of turnout (on a no grass padlock) on very very bouncy Connemara. Main positives: they really fit "irregular" hoves (as our feet pony after injury); back and front straps keeps boots on hooves super well and thus there is no rubbing - regardless the pace, speed and a pony shenanigans. Thus I can attest that they can be used on turnout. They are light and have an excellent breakover. Some less positive points...well, it takes some time to put them on (all the straps) but the straps keeps the boots in place so I can take that. Also, in wet, muddy conditions - Ultras get wet/dirty fast but the same can be said about other type of boots with "fabric top". Finally, as any other similar boot Ultras are hard to clean/dry. I started using socks and this helps a lot to keep boots clean, while I dry Ultras on an electrical drying rack overnight. I got another pair of Ultras so one clean and dry pair is always available for use. To summarise I can recommend Ultras.

Only fews days in but finding easy to put on and take off . Good support heel and all round . Horse seems happy and sound I am hoping this will continue. Great help and advice from Liz when measuring feet and quick postage of goods .

We are now on our fourth pair having started using them during Covid when remedial farrier could not get here. The horses feet are better than they have ever been - harder and with a better shape and improved heal, so we stuck with them despite the slight inconvenience of fitting them. They are tough and hard wearing despite a lot of road work. Downside: on really wet days they get waterlogged, so we do not leave them on indoors.

I am currently in the transition process with my two boys and originally bought a pair for the fronts really easy to put on and take off they are just like trainers. I now have these for the backs also just to make him more comfortable in his transition and not so ouchy. They work and so far so good we are only on week 5.

Purchasing my first pair of hoof boots and had no idea what I was doing. I sent the required photos into Hoof Bootique and certain boots were recommended. I hired the shells to check sizing. Sent in further videos and photos of the shells on her feet and was recommended which they thought were best. The boots are amazing and do not twist or move at all. She is very happy walking around in them.

This is the third pair of these boots we have bought in two and a half years. Lockdown denied us a remedial farrier so we tried these. Saved us a fortune and his feet are the best they have ever been. They are solid and hard wearing and we will not go back to iron shoes. Of course, they take a few minutes to fit. But worth it.

I bought these boots for my Welsh section d who is barefoot and was diagnosed with navicular. I had them a couple of weeks and notice the material of the boots had started to fray and the stitching was coming undone. I have had them since late January/ early February and honestly, the quality of them is horrendous. I stopped using them for a while because the Velcro round the back kept coming loose after 2 months. Also, my horse never trips up and is agile on his feet but since wearing these, he has experienced a few bad falls and one of them nearly resulted him falling into a cattle grid. Now the boots fit where the hoof in concerned, but the rest of the material just does not seem up to quality. I would not waste my money on these boots again. I use another brand of boots as well and these still look brand new. --- Hi Emma, Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are very sorry to hear that the Equine Fusion All Terrain Ultras you purchased have not worked out for your horse. We have spoken with Equine Fusion regarding the stitching on their boots, and they have reassured us that the stitching is only temporary whilst they glue the boots together in the factory, and it appearing to come undone does not affect the integrity of the boot (as the boot is held securely by glue). The All Terrain Ultra model can be a great option for some horses, but often the Equine Fusion Active model is our top pick. The All Terrain Ultras do give you more material around the heel bulbs, and have a softer upper that sits at a slightly different angle to other Equine Fusion Models (e.g. the Active model is more closely fitting around the heel bulbs). When the All Terrain Ultras are the right boot for a horse, they can work well and are a really useful boot. However, it sounds as if they may not have been the best fit for your horse, especially if you had trouble with the velcro and your horse tripping, which can cause them to wear faster. If ever you have any fit or quality issues with any boots in the future, please do get in touch as we are always happy to help try to resolve the issue. Many thanks, The Hoof Bootique Team

I bought these boots as the Equine Fusion All Terrain were out of stock, and I thought that the additional straps would be good to prevent twisting as one of my horses feet is narrow than the others. They are well made and the soles are good, but I was not expecting them to be so different in material and design to the All Terrain boots. It is impossible to tighten the straps sufficiently around the pastern, so a great deal of mud and debris gets into the inside of the boot. The sides of the boot are fabric and much more permeable than the All Terrain boots. This means that they get soggy and full of debris, so they need hosing out each day. However, I put them in the washing machine this morning and they washed beautifully, being almost dry after the spin cycle. I would not buy these boots again, although I am considering buying another set of All Terrain boots and using them alternately, so that each pair gets an extra day to dry out. - Hi Val, The All Terrain Ultra boots do fit differently to the All Terrain, so if the All Terrain has worked well for the horse before, it is usually best to stick with that model or try the Active model (which is closer fitting like the All Terrain). The All Terrain Ultra has a lot more material around the heel area and pastern, which can be beneficial to the fit for some horses, but on other it may not work as well (and is a bit roomy). It definitely sounds as if the All Terrain Ultra isnt quite the right fit on your horse, since you shouldnt have that amount of debris getting into the boot. We are very sorry we were out of stock of the All Terrain model when you ordered. If we are ever out of stock of an item you need in the future, please dont hesitate to get in touch since we are always happy to discuss suitable alternatives if necessary. Many thanks, The Hoof Bootique Team.

My horse has different sized front feet these boots adjust really well and fit his odd feet perfectly. The locking system with two locking bands gives me confidence that the boots will stay on. A very clever and well thought out piece of kit.

I have previously had Cavallo trek boots which were good but these are far better as they fit better. The dual front and back straps and longer sock helps make it a much better fit. My horse is fully comfortable in them which is great!
