The Pioneer Sports Hoof Boot automatically adapts to your horse’s hoof as it changes shape through the trimming cycle. Its self-adjusting design ensures a secure, consistent fit every time, improving comfort and confidence for both horse and rider.

By maintaining the perfect fit, Pioneer reduces the risk of twisting, rubbing, or lost boots, without the hassle of constantly changing sizes or brands.

🚨 They’re finally here! After months of designing, testing, tweaking (and a few sleepless nights), we’ve officially released our Pioneer Hoof Boots to our early testers! 🎉

These trial boots are now out in the wild on hooves across the country, and we’re so excited to start collecting real-world feedback from our amazing community of riders and owners.

As with any new product, we’re working through a few teething problems, but that’s exactly what this testing phase is all about. Every bit of feedback helps us refine and improve so we can deliver the best possible boot. 🛠️🧡

This is a huge step forward in our mission to create a hoof boot that truly fits, performs, and protects. 💪✨

🔍 Stay tuned as we share the journey, the insights, and some behind-the-scenes updates from the field!
