Made to give extra pressure relief on problem hooves such as sole ulcers, it also helps extend the working life of the hoof boot.

Tubbease Hoof Sock – Breathable Treatment Boot for Horses
Tubbease Hoof Sock – making hoof treatment easy The Tubbease Hoof Sock was developed in New Zealand to give horses with problem hooves, such as sole ulcers, a breathable yet protective treatment aid. The supplied hook-and-loop strap allows quick, secure attachment to the horse's leg without bandages or tape. Air can escape upwards inside the sock, so no hot, humid climate builds up and the hoof keeps its natural strength. The rubber-coated base reliably keeps outside moisture out while holding the treatment solution against the hoof. This makes Tubbease ideal for treating abscesses, thrush, hoof injuries and cracks. Important: Tubbease is intended for short-term use only, while the horse is confined or supervised.

Tubbease: the sock for a horse's hoof
The idea for Tubbease comes from New Zealand. A farrier developed the hoof sock together with a vet, and in 2014 it was launched in Great Britain. Tubbease is a breathable, rubberised sock with an EVA foam sole. It is pulled over the hoof and serves as a dry dressing or as a cover for a poultice, for example with hoof abscesses or thrush. Compared with tape and nappies it goes on quickly and comes off again easily.
Tubbease at Agrarzone
Here you will find the Tubbease hoof boot in its breathable version. It holds dressings and pads on the hoof and protects them from dirt and bedding, while air can still circulate. It pairs well with the EVA insole, which you can use to cushion the sole or to replace a worn insert. That way your horse's hoof stays clean and cared for in the stable or paddock until the vet or farrier gives the go-ahead.
Frequently asked questions
Can my horse go out to pasture wearing Tubbease?
The sock is designed for the stable, paddock and short distances. On wet, deep ground or with a lot of movement it can slip or wear out faster.
How do I find the right size?
Measure the width and length of the hoof on its underside. The sock should fit snugly without pressing, so that there is enough room for a dressing.
