Which Equine Fusion Hoof Boots Are Right for Your Horse?

Choosing hoof boots can feel a little like picking running shoes. There are plenty of options, but what works best depends on who’s wearing them and what they’ll be doing.

Your horse’s hoof shape, movement and favourite activities all play a part. So, which Equine Fusion model should you go for? Here’s a quick guide to help you figure it out.

Trailblazer Jogging Shoe

Recommended for: Trail riding · Sport · Hobby & leisure

Sold individually · Regular & Slim sizes

Trailblazer is made for riders who want a secure fit with plenty of room for adjustment. Its patented AsymLock front system can be shaped around the individual hoof, while the height-adjustable, padded neoprene gaiter and adjustable side and top straps let you fine-tune how the boot sits. The open design encourages airflow, and built-in strap pockets keep loose ends neatly tucked away.

What really sets Trailblazer apart is its adaptable construction. It is quick to put on and take off, yet the front locking system, gaiter and fastenings are designed to keep everything firmly in place on the move. Whether you're enjoying a relaxed hack or heading out on more demanding trails, it's a versatile option for horses that benefit from a more customised fit.

Active Jogging Shoe

Recommended for: Barefoot transition · Trail riding · Jumping · Narrow gait · Hobby & leisure

Sold in pairs · Regular & Slim sizes

Active is the versatile all-rounder of the Equine Fusion range, made for horses that do a bit of everything. Its cone locking mechanism, adjustable front cover and smart lock make fastening straightforward and secure, without loose external straps or bands. It's an easy choice for everyday riding, trail adventures, jumping and horses transitioning away from traditional shoes.

One of Active's most useful features is its smooth inner side, which makes it particularly interesting for horses with a narrow gait. Extra padding at the front adds comfort, while the heel design allows the heels to move naturally. If you're looking for a practical hoof boot that can handle a variety of activities without a complicated fastening system, Active is well worth a look.

Ultra Jogging Shoe

Recommended for: Active rehabilitation · Barefoot transition · Hobby & leisure · Unusual hoof shapes · Natural twisting movement

Sold in pairs · Regular & Slim sizes

Ultra is all about a softer, more adaptable fit. Its extra-soft, breathable upper can accommodate a wide variety of hoof shapes and angles, including hooves that may be difficult to fit in a more structured boot. The shoe opens wide for easy fitting, and its adjustable two-band fastening lets you secure it around the hoof without relying on a rigid upper.

That flexibility is also why Ultra can be a useful option for horses with natural twisting movement, which can cause some other boots to rotate. It's particularly relevant for barefoot transitions, hoof sensitivity and suitable active rehabilitation programmes where comfort and protection matter. As always, accurate sizing is essential, and rehabilitation use should follow advice from your vet or hoof-care professional.

Trekking Jogging Shoe

Recommended for: Terrain riding · Jumping · Trekking · Trail riding · Wet conditions · Most hoof types

Sold individually · Regular & Slim sizes

Trekking is designed for riders who need a tougher upper without giving up flexibility. Its durable Superfabric construction is made for challenging terrain, whether that means rocky forest paths, long trail rides or wet and demanding conditions. The material is breathable and quick-drying, and the open front helps air circulate while reducing the chance of dirt getting trapped.

It's practical, too. The front can be opened wide to make fitting easier, and the Velcro fastening includes extra security to help the boot stay closed during use. Trekking is sold individually, so you can choose the size that fits each hoof rather than assuming both need the same one. For riders who enjoy trekking, terrain riding or jumping and want a resilient, easy-care upper, Trekking is a strong contender.

One thing they all have in common: Our flexible All Terrain sole, designed to offer grip, cushioning and comfortable hoof movement across a variety of surfaces.

Found your match? Let’s get the size right.

Even the best hoof boot won’t do its job properly if the fit is off. Measure the width and length of each hoof, ideally shortly after trimming, then use the tool below to compare your measurements with the size chart for your chosen model.
