Fuzzy's new hoof boots finally got here today and we put them on and so far so good. Though at the moment she's just wandering the yard and will go back out overnight and will free range as normal. However, I am wondering - should I just leave them on for a few hours at a time at first? They are Cavallo Entry Level boots (think that's the right name) and I watched a video a while ago on how they eventually mould at the back to the heel bulb. But I don't want her sore or rubbing and so I'm thinking just leave on until tonight. I'm worried its a long 10 hour stretch.
Does anyone else have any experience of them for turnout rather than just riding?
Thanks.

Either riding or turnout I find it best to gradually build up the time they’re used, it gives the feet and heels a chance to adapt to them. I also find when using for turnout a dusting of athletes foot powder or sulphur powder (from the garden center) helps keep the feet dryer and the boots less manky!

Thanks for the tip, I'll try and get some of either.
