Keep Your Hoof Boots Smelling Sweet and in Good Order!

Keeping your horses Easycare hoof boots clean and fresh, and in good operating condition prevents rubbing and prolongs the life of the boots and comfort pads.
Hoof Care Products can be hosed off and placed out to dry. Make sure you take the pads out of the boots and thoroughly clean both the inside of the boot and the pad. Let both dry before using. Once dry, sprinkle the inside of the boot with a little antiseptic/athletic Foot Powder or similar to freshen the boot, discourage bacteria and fungus, and also to help the boots slip easily over the heel bulbs.
To keep the wire in EasyCare Epic hoof boots sliding freely, spray the "loop" ends inside the boot with a little WD40.

Remember, cleaning sand, dirt and grit out of the boots after every use preserves the life of the pads.
