Proper Boot Application
- Open the boot and fold back the EverGrip tabs. This allows you to correctly position the boot on the horse without interference. (Note: Each boot is marked with either a "Left" or a "Right" on the inside of the boot.)
- Align the boot with the horse's leg and position the darts of the boot with the fetlock area of horse. (Note: The boot will "cup" the fetlock joint when placed correctly.)
- Position the second strap of the EverGrip tab. This allows the boot to be moved up and down and side to side for a better fit.
- Position the top strap of the EverGrip tab snug on the body of the boot. Repeat this with the third strap. Do not allow the boot to “gap” around the leg. This "gap" acts as a collection point for dirt and debris.
- Bring the suspensory strap underneath the horse's fetlock and around to the front of the boot and apply the EverGrip tab at a 45-degree angle to the leg. This creates the protective sling. (Note: Make sure this strap is placed completely below the fetlock joint and pulled tight to create a wrinkle-free supportive sling.)
- Readjust all straps so the boot is snug and contoured to the horse's cannon bone. (Note: The third strap may be at a slight downward angle to ensure a snug, wrinklefree fit.)
