The Easyboot Epic is the ideal boot for aggressive conditions or for a horse that is difficult to keep booted. The attached Easyboot Gaiter provides extra protection to the hoof and prevents excess dirt and debris from entering the boot. It also helps secure the boot in extreme conditions such as mud, snow and water crossings.
We put them to the test! The Easyboot Epic has been used by endurance riders in every distance and have been used in many thousands of miles of competition. These riders have proven that barefoot booted horses can go any distance in every type of terrain, and that the Easyboot Epic can withstand the tests the toughest riders can give them.

Q Do you need horseshoes in addition to the Easyboot Epic?
A No. Easyboot Epics provide complete hoof protection and traction. They may also be worn over regular shoes but it voids the EasyCare Guarantee.
Q What is the difference between the Easyboot and the Easyboot Epic?
A The boots are the same, but the Easyboot Epic is shipped with a factory-installed Easyboot Gaiter and a low-profile Comfort Strap.
Q Can you leave Easyboot Epics on all the time?
A No. It is best to let the horse go barefoot as often as possible. Use Easyboot Epics only when the horse needs foot protection or traction. Do not leave Easyboot Epics on any horse longer than 12 hours at a time.
Q Are Easyboot Epics good for snow and ice?
A Yes. Easyboot Epics polyurethane surface eliminates snow balling up on the bottom of the boot as it would on the sole of a horse wearing standard shoes. Optional titanium-coated studs are available for gripping sheet ice.
Q Will sand and gravel get into the boot?
A Yes. A small amount of sand can get in, but generally not enough to cause harm. Treat your Easyboot Epic as you would your own athletic shoe, empty it out occasionally!
Q Does wearing Easyboot Epics over iron shoes increase wear on the Easyboot Epic?
A Yes. Although Easyboot Epics can be worn over steel shoes in a variety of situations, wear of the Easyboot Epic is increased when fitted over shoes and will void the EasyCare Guarantee.
Q Will Easyboot Epics give good traction on pavement?
A Yes. They provide sure footing for the horse and safety for the rider. Shod horses can be dangerous on pavement. Easyboot Epics prevent slipping. They make excellent parade footwear and reduce shock on paved surfaces.
Q Is it necessary to trim the horse's hoof?
A All horses need a proper hoof trimming program, whether they are barefoot or shod. Consult your hoof care professional for any trimming questions or concerns.
Q With such a variety in the shape of hooves, how can a good fit be assured?
A The single most important factor to success with Easyboot Epics is to ensure the correct size. Measure the hoof, compare to the sizing chart and choose the size based on the ranges provided. Once you have selected the correct size for your horse, the fit can be tailored to accommodate most normal hoof variations. If your horses hoof shape deviates more than one size from the "standard" shape (width versus length) shown on the chart, the Easyboot Epic may not be the best choice for your application.
Q What is the projected useful life of an Easyboot Epic?
A Your "mileage" will depend, of course, on a number of factors. How often do you ride? Do you ride on asphalt or dirt, for 30 minutes or 10 miles? One horses boots may show wear at the toe, while others may indicate wear on the inside. Regardless of the way your horse travels, Easyboot Epics will out-perform a metal horseshoe, as well as provide insurance against injury.
Q Are Easyboot Epics economical?
A Yes. With Easyboot Epics, there is no need to shoe. Thoroughly tested on cross country and endurance rides, rough terrain and pavement, the Easyboot was found to out-wear steel shoes at least 3 to 1, with a range of over 500 miles. Horse owners have reported over 1000 miles per boot.
Q Can I use the Therapy Click System with this boot?
A Yes. The EasyBoot Epic is compatible with the Therapy Click System.
