EasyCare Old Macs Horse Boots G2

Fit perfect and my horse was so sure footed and clearly happy about our trail rides— even on rough trails!

I have had a set of these before and they lasted a year doing mounted patrol. This set broke after a month. Disappointed in this purchase. Too expensive to fall apart like they did.

This is our 4th pair. We have trailed hundreds of miles through the desert on rough terrain and I can always count on Old Mac Boots to protect my girl. They are the only brand I choose.

It is easier to put on than I thought it will be. After first two-three times, I do it pretty quickly. Go with smaller size than you determined by measurements. I bought first pair exactly as directed by size chart, and they turned out way too large, which is not only awkward for the horse, they also turn to the side during the ride, so your horse may trip. I ended up buying 2 sizes smaller, and they fit perfectly and I have no problems putting them on. When they are snug, they also don't rotate. I do only trail riding, so my horse goes through water and mud, and they never slipped off.

I could only use these boots twice. The first time, the strap that runs around the ankle started to rub my horse's ankle raw. Fortunately I know my horse well enough to know something was wrong and got off and checked him and removed the boots before there was much damage done. I hadn't used the gaitors with them the first time, so I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt and try again. By the time just walking around was done my horse was holding each hoof up waiting for me to take the boots off. There wasn't any outward damage done, but he was obviously very uncomfortable with them. After saying all this, was it an improper fit? Not that I could see. They seemed to fit the hoof fine, other than the velcro outer closures were a bit short, but able to close. I had sized him according to the directions very carefully on the Easycare website, to ensure I was getting him the correct boot and the correct size when I ordered. When I received them, I fitted them according to the directions of not getting them dirty, they seemed to fit fine. But as they say, "The proof is in the pudding". Now I am extremely leery to try to buy another pair of any other type of boot, because once you try them out, they are yours. No returns. I don't care to keep putting money out there and have the product not be usable.

I sent these boots back and am still waiting for my refund. When I ordered these on amazon it did not say they where the G2's. I would not have wanted the G2's as I knew they where not round as my horses all wear. Amazon needs to be more specific.

I use these not as intended, over shoes on a horse in turn out. He is deathly afraid of any type of bug and basiclly wears a suit of armour when turned out but he would still run out of his front shoes.......but the old macs g2s have been the answer to our prayers, suggest using the gaiters as well to help chaffing

easy to put on and take off easy to hose off to clean fits great all-around wonderful pair of boots !
