The "G2" boot, which is sold in pairs, features a tread pattern that provides aggressive traction while eliminating pressure on sensitive internal hoof structures. While traction is extremely important, very aggressive traction can inhibit a horse’s natural way of going and can increase stress on joints, tendons and upper extremities. The G2 provides cushioning at the sole (the suspension system), while allowing the tread to “take hold” of the road or any other challenging surface. The G2 tread is rounded for a natural break-over, softening the hard miles that many horses travel in boots. The boot is shaped to be longer than wide which is an important feature that will allow your horses to wear the boots comfortably and securely.
Includes Gaiters.
If your horse is between sizes, go to the larger size.
If you intend to use Old Mac’s G2's over metal shoes for transportation then you must take your measurements AFTER shoeing.
If the WIDTH measurement exceeds the LENGTH by more than one size (an extremely short and wide foot) we do not recommend Old Mac's G2’s. Old Mac’s Originals are more suitable for this hoof shape.
If the LENGTH exceeds the WIDTH by more than one size (a very long and narrow foot), we do not recommend Old Mac's G2's. If the hoof is long and narrow, but fits within the size chart, inserts may be used.
Old Mac’s Inserts should ONLY be used:
• If the boot is slightly too wide, and you need a tighter fit
• For a club foot
• If one hoof is distinctly smaller than the other
