Intrepid International Shoe Boil Boot - Single

My 3-year old suddenly developed a gigantic shoe boil. The vet recommended a shoe boil donut. I was VERY skeptical, but after 5 weeks of him wearing it 24/7, it almost completely disappeared. There's a little bit of loose skin where it was (and he has a winter coat now so I can't precisely see.) but the swelling is gone. It has been more than 3 months now and it has not come back. I was amazed that it didn't bother him at all after the first 5 minutes and he didn't mind me taking it off or putting it on him. (I did take it off to ride him.) I would recommend confining your horse to a stall. I would not feel comfortable turning him out just in case he managed to get it tangled up in a fence or something. I wrapped it in vet wrap every couple of days and took it off and dried it if it got wet. I only used it during summer. I am not sure that I would be comfortable using it on my horse if he were getting it wet and the temperatures were freezing. I would worry about the potential for frostbite. It was amazingly durable and held up really well. Pro tip: When you are putting it on and taking it off, do not put your head directly in front of his front knee or your horse will knock you out if he flexes his knee.

I have a 17 h HEAVY warmblood who suddenly developed shoe boils on elbow. I put these on too late, but they did work on the less severe side immediately and the lanced side is mostly better now 4 months later. She wears these 24/7 without rubs on ankles. She abuses them, and they are starting to crack after 4 months. Buying 2-3 sets a year is fine with me over getting a boil lanced at $300 per time. 5 stars!

Easy to put on and quality construction that has lasted well. Also arrived very quickly which was great because my horse had a horrible shoe boil that eventually ended up abscessing. He’s worn it practically 24/7 for the last 3 months and it’s held up well.

Seems well made and good quality. My gelding wore it once. Once. I'm not surprised. He's a spaz about that sort of stuff. Thankfully the shoe boil is finally decreasing in size. Probably would've happened faster if my horse would've cooperated!

Works great on our TWH that his hoof hits his elbow area when getting up from lying down.

This boil boot is softer than it looks in pic- which is a good thing. Plenty of holes to adjust tightness. Fits fine and is accepted well by my 15.2 h Morgan horse. Only on him in stall. I do not have it on him when he is turned out during the day. Delivery was fast and easy.

my QH developed a shoe boil from his special front shoes that need to be set way back. Because of the way he lays down, the boot goes on the same side as the boil. I've been using this nightly when he goes into his stall and the boil has greatly reduced. Very easy in & off. Glad I found this

They helped heal the shoe boil but didn’t last long I duct taped the one because it was splitting apart and since we also had him on Steel horse supplement the boil was going away. It made it through the summer but once the rainy season hit I had to take them off they were holding all kinds of moisture and his foot was never dry. For the cost I would have expected more durability but like I said they did do the job protected it long enough to heal

My geldings shoeboil has shrunken alot. It seems to work. But since its hard for him to walk with it. He only wears it in the barn at night. (When he lies down anyway)
