Abstract: An equine boot comprising a shell, the shell including: a bottom portion for substantially covering the underside of a hoof; an upper adhesively attachable to the hoof to secure the boot thereto; and an aperture through which fluid can reach the underside of the hoof to flush debris therefrom.

Abstract: A securing strap for an equine hoof boot. The strap is configured for securing the boot to a hoof of a horse at a location above the horse's coronary band and for fixing to the boot at generally central locations on a front and rear of the boot. The strap includes: a centrally positioned coupler above a front of the boot; and first and second sections. Each of the first and second sections is configured to extend on either side of the horse's pastern bone to come together at a location above the horse's coronary band at the centrally positioned coupler. The coupler includes an adjustable sleeve through which respective ends of the first and second sections are fed and drawn tight around the hoof.

Abstract: An equine boot comprising: a sole for receiving a bottom of a horse's hoof; an upper which, in use, receives at least a portion of a wall of the hoof; and a retention means at a rear of the boot which, in use, is generally proximate a cleft of the hoof, the retention means being configured for engagement with a securing strap, which strap is securable to the boot and hoof for retaining the boot thereto.

Abstract: An equine boot including a sole member having an interior for receiving a bottom of a hoof; and an upper for retaining the boot on the hoof, the upper having dorsal apertures such that when the boot is worn, bulbs of the hoof protrude through respective apertures. The apertures at least partially define a bulb-engaging element for engaging the peripheries of the bulbs so as to retain the bulbs in the apertures and impede rotation of the boot relative to the hoof.
