The Equine "Slipper" is a revolutionary advancement for the equine industry. It was developed to aid in treating, medicating and protecting the equine hoof.
The Equine "Slipper" provides protection, keeps the hoof clean, holds medication in place, replaces bulky foot wraps, is safe and easy to apply, is not for use during exercise and is 100% machine washable!
A Better Alternative
Replacing foot wraps every time medication is re-applied can get expensive. This unique product allows the hoof to breathe while being treated, which helps to promote a healthy hoof. The "Slipper" can actually replace a foot wrap all together!
The body of the "Slipper" is made of a heavy ply cordura and is fastened to the high-grade leather base with a resilient nylon thread. The durable, yet pliable material allows a comfortable fit and makes them safe and easy to apply.
This product is 100% machine washable and is made for multiple uses.

Application
The Equine "Slipper" is as easy to put on and take off as it looks! The Velcro opening is wide enough to slip in the hoof in and tighten the Velcro tabs to create a snug, perfect fit which eliminates any discomfort your horse may experience with regular foot wraps.
The "Slipper" is designed for stall use only. Use outside of the stall will increase wear on The "Slipper".
How to size the "Slipper"
Sizing the Equine "Slipper"?
The Equine "Slipper" is tailored for maximum adjustability and fit. The four sizes, along with adjustable Velcro, allows for a custom fit for all normal hoof variations.
Be sure to take note that the hind hooves are a bit narrower than and not as rounded as the front hooves. Therefore, one horse may need two different sizes depending on which hoof you are treating.
1. Measure the widest part of the hoof. Some hooves are longer from wall to wall and some are longer from the toe to the buttress line of the heel. As the base of the "Slipper" is round, it is important to know the widest measurements of the horse’s hoof to ensure a proper fit.
2. Consult our sizing chart and determine which size your horse will require. A smaller size may be preferred as it reduces wear on the "Slipper" and may provide the horse with a better fit.
