Coronary injury help

[angelinmydreams]

I need a recommendation for a bell boot. The ones that I have are crappy they always flip up. My mare has a old coronary injury and I like to keep a boot on her the cuticle is always getting a hang nail I suppose is a good description so I was wondering if there is anyone out there that can point me in a good direction as to a good one that is durable and wont flip on me. The injsry is about 4 years old and her hoof is deformed now but she is not lame I like the bell boats because they don't hender her movment and they also protect her foot from abuse that they do to their feet. ( my horse are accident prone ) So any help on it would be great. ( its the left back foot )

I love love Davis bell boots! Hold up well and don't flip and my horse lives in them. Decent price too!

Thats weird. My horse wears them 24/7 and never had a problem even when he was turned out in a paddock where he had to cross a creek. Maybe try no turn bell boots. My roommates horse has to live in 4 bell boots as well, he also injured the area near is cornet band and had to have surgrey and is very accident prone. He wears the davis bells as well.

OK, two suggestions. Either the pull on ones (impossible to get on, therefore, impossible to get off). But personally I hate the rubber/plastic ones because I have found they rub the back of their heels raw. I like the neoprene ones. They don't flip up, don't chafe, but do have velcro so are subject to being pulled off (get the ones with double velcro).

I found some neoprene bell boats the other day they were a little spendy but we will see how well they work
