Fusion Boots for asymmetry
Hi, In this thread someone suggested equine fusion boots. Has anyone had experience with these for helping with boots that twist? |

When my horse spins on his hinds, boots twist, including Equine Fusions. I understand there's a new Equine Fusion boot that is advertised as less likely to spin though. http://equine-jogging-shoes.com/trekking-jogging-shoe/
Contact Jenny at "all natural horse care . com" if you want to ask her about that. In my experience though, twisting during normal movement (ie not spinning) is a sign the boot is too big. -- Kirsten Rasmussen Kitimat, BC, Canada |

Thanks Kirsten!
The spinning boot seems to be related to size with the boots I’m trying too. I’ll check link that out. |

I've been using Equine Fusion boots for a few years, and with a mini mule narrow hoof, the boots definitely twist, even the narrow sizes. What helped my guy was purchasing some thick felt and cutting it into strips, then tucking them into the sides of the boot. It filled up the empty spaces and made the boot fit a little better, and twisting was reduced significantly. It took a few tries to figure out where to put the strips and how many to use. One on each side of the hoof plus the EF dampening pads to lift his hoof up a little worked best for us.
