At Swiss Galoppers, we understand that every horse is unique and has different requirements for hoof protection. That’s why we offer our hoof boots in various sizes to ensure the ideal fit and optimal comfort for every horse.
Fill out the following wizard to find out which hoof boot fits best (size finder in step 3) and whether the Swiss Galoppers hoof boot is suitable for the intended use.
Swiss Galoppers are primarily riding boots for leisure riders who enjoy riding on different terrains and prefer to avoid shoeing.
Thanks to their high comfort, shock-absorbing, and durable sole, Swiss Galoppers are perfect for trail riding—allowing you to travel for hours with stability and enjoyment.
Driving with Swiss Galoppers is safe with a proper fit. They are particularly popular for their shock-absorbing and durable soles.
For disciplines such as endurance riding, Swiss Galoppers are suitable up to a certain level. At higher levels, riders usually switch to shoeing.
Thanks to the comfort sole, Swiss Galoppers are suitable during and after the transition, as well as after illness and arthritis. However, they are not 24-hour therapeutic boots!
Swiss Galoppers are not suitable for dressage, show jumping, military sports/eventing. The boots are designed for leisure activities and are therefore not recommended for equestrian sports!
Low to Normal Heels
For oval to round hooves with low heels, the “SG” is suitable.
Pronounced Bulbs
For oval to round hooves with pronounced bulbs, the “SG-L” is suitable.
High Heels
For oval to round hooves with high heels, the “SG-L” is suitable.
Swiss Galoppers are only partially suitable for asymmetrical hooves.
Swiss Galoppers are only partially suitable for long hooves with flat heels.
Swiss Galoppers are only partially suitable for steep walls and/or club feet.
The optimal fit of the hoof boots requires regular hoof care. We recommend a trimming interval of 6–8 weeks, depending on individual hoof growth.
To ensure an optimal fit, hooves should be measured no later than 14 days after the last trimming.
Please enter each hoof individually. A guide on how to measure hoof width, length (including bulbs), and height can be found
here.
The front hooves usually differ in size from the back hooves. Please check whether the sizes match for both front and back hooves.
If the last hoof trimming was more than 4 weeks ago, the calculation may vary significantly. We recommend waiting for the next hoof trimming and measuring again immediately afterward.
All our Swiss Galoppers hoof boots can be easily ordered online.
Swiss Galoppers offers horse owners the opportunity to test our hoof boots before purchasing. Together with our partners, we make it possible to experience the quality and functionality of our products firsthand and find the right hoof protection for your horse.
Additionally, we offer two different fit options: the standard version and, if this does not fit, our flexible L-version, which can be individually adjusted with various interchangeable extensions.
