"Just ordered boot for my other horse. This boot was a life saver for my gelding that was losing shoes and had tender hooves. Now I am keeping one on hand for each of my horses."
"I used a set of these on two different horses. First was a foundered pony over the winter because she was so foot sore on frozen ground. Definitely helped her; however, the gel pad froze pretty hard and the velcro got pretty crummy over the coarse of the winter. Second horse was a very thin soled horse that had bruised a foot. I was doctoring on it, and then letting her wear these hoof boots on front during the day - she was nearly sound in these boots. I feel these boots protected her enough to allow for faster healing."
"My gelding was diagnosed with laminitis and Cushings about 6 weeks prior to our cross-country relocation. My vet treated him and finally gave us the okay to send him provided he had special shoes and the Cloud Hoof Boots. We purchased them not only for the gelding but some for my mare, and they made the trip beautifully, and a lot of the credit goes to the Cloud boots. They are fantastic!"
"Perfect cushioning for my horse."
"I am using for my navicular horse. Would buy again. Velcro isn't the strongest however I just duct tape around them and they work fine. I bought extra pads to rotate. Ideally its nice to have two sets of boots- have one set clean and dry to replace when taking the other set off. I know $ adds up- but process works well to keep horse comfortable."
"I would give it 10 stars if I could. Thank you for this invention, it is a great product!!! Our mare could hardly walk after having hoof rot and a rookie Ferrier trim cut too high. She was heartbreaking and looked dull and awful, in so much pain. I had high hopes these would help, and she might be able to move more comfortably, but this exceeded all expectation. Her ears perked, eyes brightened, posture changed, and she not only began walking around but even started cantering and trotting around her paddock. These are so worth the money, as a matter of fact we are most likely saving money on vet bills, supplements, vitamins (we've tried a lot!) and therapy/care. The last Ferrier visit we had she was so greatly improved, he couldn't believe it. If you're considering this - Don't Walk, Run! ;)"
"I think they will offer comfort for when my horse has a laminitic flare up, but the boots ran small. I measured the hooves and then selected the size based on the size chart, and she needed a size bigger than what the chart said she needed. Fortunately, I had ordered two sizes, so between the two I ordered, I ended up with the size I needed."
"Excellent boots, held up well, fit securely, and most importantly, they made my beloved horse comfortable while he struggled with laminitis. We tried clogs, but he was noticeably more comfortable in these boots. They held up well for the 2 months that we used them. The shipping was also reasonable and fast. Unfortunately, my boy lost his fight with laminitis last week despite months of exhaustive effort trying to save him. I am devastated and I miss him dearly, but these boots helped to make him comfortable so I am grateful for them."
"Saved my life! Well my horse’s hooves anyway. He is a champ at pulling shoes. Before I purchased this boot he went through many boots. A Houdini with finding a way out of them and tearing up his hoof. This has stayed on (and he stayed sound!) even out full time on pasture board."
"Easy to put on. Definitely saw an immediate difference in walking on stones and concrete barn floor. Plan on using over the winter months when ground is hard and frozen to provide thin sole relief for our older horse."
