Shires Temporary Shoe Boot Black

Shires ARMA Temporary Shoe Boot Black

Help protect your horse’s hoof following a lost shoe with the Shires ARMA Temporary Shoe Boot Black, a practical temporary hoof protection boot designed to protect the sensitive frog and sole from injury.

Losing a horseshoe can leave the hoof vulnerable, particularly when the horse is moving over uneven or abrasive surfaces. The ARMA Temporary Shoe Boot provides a convenient temporary protective covering while you arrange for your farrier to replace the missing shoe.

Featuring a simple pull-on design, the boot is easy to fit and is secured using a strong nylon strap to help keep it in position.

Designed to protect the hoof without damaging the hoof wall, this practical horse boot is a useful addition to your equestrian first aid supplies.

Temporary Protection Following a Lost Horseshoe

The Shires ARMA Temporary Shoe Boot is specifically designed for use when a horse loses a shoe.

Without a horseshoe, the sensitive areas underneath the hoof may be more exposed to potential injury.

This temporary hoof boot helps protect the frog and sole, providing a practical solution while waiting for professional farrier attention.

It is intended as temporary protection rather than a permanent replacement for correctly fitted horseshoes.

Protects the Frog and Sole

The ARMA Temporary Shoe Boot Black is designed to help protect two important areas of the horse’s hoof:

• 
  

  The frog: The sensitive structure on the underside of the hoof.



• 
  

  The sole: The underside of the hoof, which may become vulnerable following the loss of a shoe.

By providing a protective covering, the boot helps reduce the risk of injury to these areas.

Simple Pull-On Design

The Shires Temporary Shoe Boot features a practical pull-on design for straightforward fitting.

This makes it a convenient option when temporary hoof protection is required.

Its simple construction allows the boot to be fitted without complicated fastening arrangements.

Strong Nylon Strap Fastening

To help keep the boot securely positioned, the ARMA Temporary Shoe Boot features a strong nylon securing strap.

The strap provides a practical fastening system, helping maintain the boot’s position when correctly fitted.

Always check that the boot fits appropriately and is secured before use.

Designed to Protect the Hoof Wall

The Shires ARMA Temporary Shoe Boot Black is designed to provide protection without damaging the hoof wall.

This makes it a practical temporary option when a horseshoe has been lost.

Correct sizing and fitting are important to ensure the boot provides appropriate protection.

Sized Like a Horseshoe

Unlike some hoof boots that use hoof measurements, the ARMA Temporary Shoe Boot is sized like a horseshoe.

This means selecting the correct size is particularly important.

If you’re unsure which size your horse requires, Shires recommends consulting your farrier for advice on the appropriate horseshoe size.

A Useful Addition to Your Horse’s First Aid Supplies

A lost horseshoe can happen unexpectedly, whether your horse is in the field or at the yard.

Keeping a temporary shoe boot available can help you prepare for situations where short-term hoof protection may be needed.

The Shires ARMA Temporary Shoe Boot is a practical item to consider including in your horse’s emergency hoof care supplies.

Classic Black Colour

Finished in Black, this temporary hoof boot offers a simple, practical appearance.

Designed with functionality in mind, it provides a convenient temporary solution when your horse requires additional hoof protection.
