Key Points
Sometimes new hoof boots require a breaking in period in the same way that we would break in a new pair of shoes. We always recommend that for the first day you only use your new boots for 20-30 minutes during turn-out or riding. Every horse is different and it is important to monitor as you gradually increase the amount of time you use your new hoof boots. Using a leather softener and/or riding through water will speed up the breaking in process. Pastern wraps are also useful when breaking in a new pair of boots.
