Have you heard of the TUBBEASE hoof sock? Me, neither. HOWEVER, It seems like a nice substitution for the Davis Boot and Equine Slipper. I wish these had been around with Mama Tess. (No affiliation)

I friend of mine on FB showed me this pic:

This pic is difficult to see, but it is a hoof sock with a hard, plastic sole.

TUBBEASE!

These equine hard socks are called, Tubbease.

Not just in Australia, NZ and the UK!  We can now get them in the USA!  I checked on Amazon, State Line Tack and Jeffers.

Now, I have not used these… but my friend says it was incredibly easy and a great way to soak, add poultice, wrap and protect a tender hoof.

I would have LOVED to try this with Mama Tess!

I use a Davis Boot for soaking, but those have lots of excess room… whereas this is snug.

I used an Equine Slipper with my wrapped hoof… but this looks more snug.  I feel like I could add a poultice or pad into this boot and feel confident that it would stay on.

And, they are inexpensive!.

MORE INFORMATION FROM THE WEBSITE.

Right now, no one as any foot issues here (Thank horsegods), but I will remember these for the next time.  I think this seems much less messier/safer than the Davis boot… and more solid than the Equine Slipper.  I think this would give me coverage and security for soaking and wrapping a hoof.

I like it!  PLEASE email me if you have used it!  I’d like to hear.
