Swiss Galoppers Hoof boot
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use hoof grease or similarly greasy products such as oils, creams, etc.! This reduces the optimal grip of the boot! To enjoy your Swiss Galoppers for as long as possible, regularly clean the fastening strap and fetlock strap by rinsing with water and always close the Velcro fasteners when not in use.
1
The fetlock strap must be attached once before first use using the short Velcro inside the slot of the heel cushion.
2
Loosen the fastening strap and attach the Velcro to the side of the central bar.
3
Slide the hoof boot over the hoof from the tip. The buckle of the fastening strap must be visible on the outside.
4
With a light tap on the front of the hoof boot, ensure that the hoof is positioned at the very front inside the boot. Make sure the boot is straight. For horses with long feathering, pull the hair out.
5
Now place the hoof down and check by lifting the heel cushion that the boot fits correctly.
6
IMPORTANT! Thread the fetlock strap through before tightening the fastening strap. Push the heel shell back slightly to do this.
7
Tighten the fastening strap and close the boot at the front so that the fastening strap fits neatly all around. In the final position, the metal buckle is directly in front of the side strap guide.
8
Now close the fetlock strap. The fetlock strap should fit snugly but not be too tight.

L-Model
IMPORTANT NOTES
The L-Model is used when the standard boot does not optimally cover the length and/or height of the hoof, causing the heel shell to be misaligned or too low.
Ideal angle
Angle too flat
If the plastic connection causes the heel shell to sit too high, it can be replaced with the shorter version.
Ideal height of the heel shell
Heel shell too high
Heel shell too low
Replacing the Extension
1
When replacing the extension, please use the new screws with an intact thread-locking compound. The shorter extension is 10mm shorter.
2
Loosen the upper and lower screws, insert the new extension, and tighten them again.
3
Shortened and optimal fit – Regularly check the screws and retighten them if necessary.

Fetlock and Heel Protection
IMPORTANT NOTES
The sensitive fetlock folds are optimally protected by the fetlock guard. This acts preventively against chafing in this area.
Open the fastening strap and loosen it so that two loops can be pulled out next to the rear central bar.
Attaching the Fetlock and Heel Protection
1
Open the fastening strap and loosen it so that two loops can be pulled out next to the rear central bar.
2
Take the heel protection/fetlock protection and hold it so that the Velcro wings can be threaded through the slots in the heel padding. Pull the Velcro wings through the slots and close them at the back.
3
The closed Velcro wings should fit snugly against the heel padding. Once both sides are threaded and closed, return the fastening strap to its original position. The heel protection/fetlock protection is now securely mounted into the heel section.
4
To put on the Swiss Galoppers with a fetlock protection, fold the fetlock protection slightly backward to facilitate entry. For horses with long feathering, arrange the hair so that it lies properly. Then close the upper Velcro and press it firmly.
