Righ...I am working on a protective boot for Ramsey. Right now, when he goes out I put an IV bag over his foot and reinforce it with duct tape. Hoof boots are generally used for riding or working. They cannot be left on all the time and I have never yet found any that will stay on in the pasture and I have tried a lot of them. Ramsey can only wear the boot for a short time since anything waterproof enough does not breath, which is bad. Good foot care and husbandry is the only thing you can do to help prevent abscesses. Clearly, it doesn't always work. There is no way to absolutely prevent them. Most of the time they are a minor problem that heals up with no trouble. Less than 1% of abscesses become septic. We just happen to be that "lucky" 1%. The vet told me that they had three other cases of pedal osteitis come in during the time Ramsey was at Cornell. They were all well cared for horses with healthy feet.
