Organise the shells, so you know which sizes/boots you need to try on which hoof. Don't walk or trot up your horse in the shells - they aren't designed to stay on, without all the straps and parts. Ideally on a flat, hard surface and in good light. Try the shells on at a standstill, on clean, dry hooves. Don’t rush to send your Fit Kit back to us - just in case we ask you to try something on again, or take some more photos. It is often helpful to have one long trying-on session, but then to go back and try the shells on again, on another day, to re-evaluate the fit (especially if we are involved in the sizing process, as we may ask questions about how some of the shells fit etc). Give yourself plenty of time and plan to try on your kit more than once.

Please contact us first, if you will need to keep the kit for longer than the usual 14 day period. If you are approaching a trim, it is probably a good idea to hold onto your Fit Kit for a little longer and try it immediately before and then after the trim.

Ideally try your Fit Kit shells on just after a trim.
