From long trips in the trailer to concrete stalls and walkways, travel is a lot of pressure with little relief for your horse’s legs. We all know what it’s like to stand on hard concrete for hours without much cushion in our shoes, so why would we think it’d be any different for our horses? Give them the therapeutic support they need now available for an affordable cost with the Tough1 Pillow Boot.
The Tough1 Pillow Boot provides relief for horses while trailering or stalling on hard surfaces. The unforgiving hardness of concrete and the pressure from long trips in the trailer can contribute to joint and tendon stress as well as potentially cause hoof damage without proper support. Thanks to the design of the Tough1 Pillow Boot, which is meant to envelope the hoof with durable and protective materials, the boot provides extra shock absorption, cushioning and support by distributing the horse’s weight evenly and relieving soft tissue strain and fatigue.
Have a horse that suffers from the effects of laminitis or founder? The Tough1 Pillow Boot offers more support to the foot, relieving the uncomfortable compression and providing relief for your horse to walk more comfortably than if he were barefoot. The boot offers protection and reassurance to horses that might feel unsteady or unstable, are more likely to fall or are unwilling to walk.
And for the horse that might be cautious on concrete or asphalt? Wearing the Tough1 Pillow Boot gives your horse the confidence to cross surfaces that he might slip on any other day, thanks to the nonslip, treaded sole of each boot.
The outside is constructed with durable canvas which is easily secured on the hoof with a padded, double hook-and-loop closure. Each Tough1 Pillow Boot comes with a replaceable Pillow Pad that offers support and cushion to the hoof.
Currently available in six sizes (00 to 4), the Tough1 Pillow Boot is sold in pairs or singles. This boot is not intended for wear while riding nor for extended turnout but is best used to support and cushion the hoof while traveling, walking across various footings and while standing on hard surfaces for extended periods of time.
The Tough1 Pillow Boot is designed to be used as just one part of a full-care program for horses of all disciplines and backgrounds. Consult with your veterinarian and/or farrier to develop the best plan to care for your horse’s feet and any concerns of soft tissue injury.
Every second counts, which means your horse needs to be at his best. The Tough1 Pillow Boot is an affordable way to offer comfort on the road, so you both can be at your best.
