  • IS THE BOOT UNIVERSAL OR IS THERE A LEFT AND A RIGHT?
    The boots are universal! They will fit on any hoof!
  • WILL MY HORSE BE ABLE TO FEEL THE HERBS?
    Nope! Water will slowly evaporate from the herbs over time, and they will eventually compress into a firm mould of the underside of the horses hoof. The herbs act in the same way that mud would pack into the hoof naturally so it will not cause excess pressure or discomfort.
  • WILL THE BOOT TRAP IN MOISTURE?
    Nope! The boot has been designed to be extra breathable to prevent any overheating, sweating or moisture building up. The boot has been designed to allow air flow.
  • CAN THE HERBS FALL OUT OF THE BOOT?
    Nope! The herbs are enclosed behind a layer of ultra fine mesh! They create a tea bag effect when soaked, so the benefits are literally absorbed through the mesh, the herbs themselves can not escape!

    Although our herb mixes may be a secret, their unrivalled medicinal properties aren't!

    Our herbs are all mixed here by us! They are tailored to treat various ailments. We do not sell any herbs separate to our pre made blends at this time.
  • HOW DO THE HERBS WORK?
    The herbs are placed in a mesh pocket within the boot and soaked in water. Once on the hoof, this creates a teabag effect. The herbal water diffuses through the mesh and is absorbed directly into the horses hoof.
  • HOW MANY HERBS DO I NEED?
    The smallest quantity of herbs we sell is 250g. We recommend using 25g portions per treatment, but these portions can be re-used twice by simply re-soaking and re-applying. So if you re-use your herbs twice, that is 20 treatments per bag!
