The most frequently asked
questions and their answers are listed below.
However, we have learned
most horse owners want answers to questions specific to
their horses and themselves. That is why we ask that you please
contact us with your questions before and after you purchase.

Disclaimer
If your Hoofwings do not fit contact us as soon as possible.
Together we can find a solution. We may ask that you
redraw the outlines and re-measure to compare the new information
with the original. If the outlines or measurements have
changed then we may recommend a different size or suggest socks
or shims. Alternatively, mail the
Hoofwings back. We will sell them and
refund the amount they sell for to you.

How long
do they last?
The
short answer is we are not
able to predict how long your boots will last.
A longer answer is that horses
used on pavement or other abrasive terrain will wear their boots
out faster. The weight of the horse and rider will affect the rate of wear. The
way a horse moves will affect how the boots wear.
We have reports from customers
that are surprised how long their boots are lasting. Some
are disappointed their boots did not last longer.
HorseSneakers can be resurfaced and
repaired. Hoofwings are affordable and can be repaired but not
resurfaced.

When do
I use my HorseSneakers/Hoofwings?
When you
ride or drive on pavement; when your horse is ouchy; when your
horses hooves wear down faster than they grow; when you ride or
drive on rocky ground; when you ride or drive on the side of a
road. (The sides of roads are notorious for concealing items
that dangerous to horses hooves).
Hoofwings can remain on the
horse's hooves 24/7 without causing the hooves to become soft.
When is
the best time to draw the outlines?
You can
draw the outlines of your horses hooves when it is convenient
for you. Just tell us when your horse's hooves were trimmed and
when you drew the outlines.

What are the
differences between HorseSneakers and Hoofwings?
HorseSneakers are custom made. It's
hard to beat a custom made product. HorseSneakers can be
used for high performance riding. They can be
resurfaced. They can be made in different colors and with
many options. (See photo album page).
HorseSneakers are made from measurements, outlines and
sometimes we ask for photos of your horses hooves
Hoofwings are made in different sizes. Custom colors are
available. They are easier to order
and faster to have delivered. They cost about half the price of
HorseSneakers. They are especially useful on horses that
need hoof protection 24/7.
