Easyboot Fury/Fury Heart Boots?

[RoyalRain42]

I was day dreaming on riding warehouse again today and noticed that Easyboot has come out with a new line of hoof boots (i have no idea how new these are, i have not looked in this section in months lol)

They are the Easyboot Fury Slng & the Easyboot Fury Heart.

Both have an interesting design, almost a little bit of a scoot boot look to them.

So has anyone seen these boots in person? Or even used them? I am curious:D

While I have not used them personally, two good friends who ride exclusively in boots have both tried them (one trying just the Slings, one trying first the Slings and then the Hearts). They HATED them. Both had issues with the boots twisting, despite not having that issue with Gloves. We were all really surprised. Both have gone back to using Gloves - guess that just shows if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

I have a pair of the Fury slings – I didn’t want the big metal thing on the front (and just hate things with hearts on them).

I’ve had the opposite experience. I’ve quite liked them. They fit the horse very well. They do not twist (the Scoot Boots I tried do, even with shims). And I really like the adjustability, although it’s not something you can really do on the fly, it’s a bit fiddly. And if you don’t have the adjustment right for the foot, it will twist, but I was able to figure out where I needed to tweak it to work. I haven’t had any rubs, but I’m not using them more than about 60-90 minutes at a time.

Like all boots, every shape doesn’t fit every horse. I measured really carefully multiple times & ended up just ordering two sizes & keeping the one that worked. I watched all the videos about sizing & fitting & recommend anyone do so, they’re extremely helpful

I’ve used them now for about 6 months or so. I like that the pastern strap is heavier duty than the scoots’ straps, no issues there. I did have one break at a narrow part around one screw on the side, but I sent it back under warranty & it was replaced free of charge, no problems since.

I’ve used Epics, Cavallos, as well. The Fury is by far the easiest to put on/take off. On this particular horse, they’ve been the most secure (have done W/T/C/small jumps). Good traction. Overall, they’ve been a really useful tool for me with my horse who doesn’t have textbook feet, they don’t exactly match (even though we’re working on improving that), these boots have allowed me to accommodate those differences as well as changes through his trim cycle.
