Description

The Swiss Galopper hoof boots are sold in PAIRS.

They are an easy to apply and lightweight boot. The sole has an extreme abrasion and slip resistant profile that lasts up to approx. 2.000 km. The flexible, torsion-resistant insole prevents twisting. Joint-friendly due to its shock-absorbing effect. Heel, pastern and bulb are protected through ergonomic design and padding, providing a perfect fit for most hoof shapes.

They provide good grip on tarmac and off-road, and their advanced sole technology means they are great for riding on various terrains. They are ideal for first time users and perfect for everyday hacking, schooling, jumping and driving. 

The Swiss Galopper hoof boot is injection molded and made of 100% recyclable, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which displays high abrasion durability.

Suitable for:

  • Standard Size Swiss Galopper Hoof Boots = ideal for horses with round shaped hooves or slightly longer than wide hooves
  • Long Size Swiss Galopper Hoof Boots = ideal for horses with longer than wide hooves and suited to narrower back hooves and slightly contracted hooves. The L / LONG version you can change the extensions to make the length either longer or shorter.  

 Not suitable for:

  • Wider to short hooves.

* Please note that the use of any hoof boot over metal shoes will invalidate the warranty.

Key features of the Swiss Galopper Hoof Boot:

  • Optimal roll over for easier break over for the hoof.
  • Slim fit design with better closure against hoof.
  • Softer upper that is breathable and helps to eliminate rubbing
  • Supports natural hoof mechanism.
  • Closer ground contact.
  • Unrestricted natural movement of all limbs.
  • Aids the rehabilitation of hoof issues.
  • Fits difficult hoof shapes.
  • Can be used for both riding and rehab.
  • Machine washable at 30 degrees.

The amount of grip will change if the surface is wet. Always consider safety for horse and rider regarding wet/dry surfaces.

HERE is a guide with some Swiss Galopper Do's and Don'ts.

Currently available in 12 sizes.

The Swiss Galopper must be carefully sized and fitted to the hoof. The horses width and length measurements must fall within the same size for this boot to fit and be successful. Our Swiss Galopper fit kit is the ideal tool to determine the suitability and / or size of the Swiss Galopper for a horse’s hoof and it is recommended to use this first to ensure the correct size is selected. You can hire our Swiss Galopper fit kit HERE, or try it alongside other brands in our Mixed Fit Kit.

    Lost them 3 times!!

    Published by CARMEN MORILLO on 10th Aug 2022

    After a few months using Scoot Boots for my horses fronts (never had a problem with them!) I was looking for something easier to put on for her backs. After purchasing the fit kit I went with the Swiss Gallopers in the size recommended by both the shop and my trimmer. The first day I used them, they both came off. I could recover them. I was advised to put them on, make the horse walk, and then tighten them again. I did that, to the point that the boots even were slightly marking my horses hooves. Last week one came off again, but luckily I noticed and dismounted to put it back. Yesterday, they both came off and I did not notice at all. I went back with my car but could only find one. I must say that during the three occasions I have lost them I was hacking on roads. I am afraid that the velcros lose their stickiness after just a few uses, despite being cleaned after every use. It has been barely a month with them, and now 200 pounds just down the drain... Never again! ---------> Hi Carmen, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I have looked into this and although you hired Fit Kit shells for the Swiss Galoppers from us, I cannot see that we ever saw any photos of the fit kit shells on the hooves, and we were not involved in the decision on size. As we had suggested trying a larger size also, I suspect that this size is too small for the hooves. A boot that is too small can be pushed off the hoof, causing it to twist or come off. It is also important for the Swiss Galoppers to fit correctly around the heel area. If you would like to let us have some photos of the remaining boot on the hooves, so we can see how it fits, then we would be happy to discuss this with you. We had suggested trying a number of brands in our Mixed Fit Kit initially, in case the Swiss Galopper brand did not suit the hoof shape, but we see that you only tried the Swiss Galopper and not any other brands. It is likely that a different brand will suit the hind hooves better. We would be happy to help find a more suitable alternative if you would like to get in touch. The Hoof Bootique Team

    These boots are such a success so far. I like how easy they are to take on and off and how they do not get sodden through with wet or dirt when out hacking! Expensive but worth it!

    Delighted with these boots, so easy to put on and do not seem to move on my mares feet despite testing them on varied terrain.
