Swiss Galopper Hoof Boots (pairs)

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.
