Description
FlexMini Ahti is a hoof boot designed specifically for miniature horses, ponies, and foals.
It is not a scaled-down version of a larger boot.
Ahti has been developed to match the biomechanics, proportions, and lighter load of small equines, allowing the hoof to move naturally while providing protection across different terrains.
Designed for natural movement
The structure of the boot supports how the hoof is meant to function:
-
Defined breakover adapted for miniature hooves
-
Flexible sole that allows natural expansion
-
Scaled tread pattern for proportional traction
This allows the horse to move freely while maintaining stability and protection.
Secure and adjustable fit
Ahti uses a simple, reliable fastening system without cables or velcro.
The modular structure includes:
-
Boot shell
-
Rear Unit
-
Strap Anchor
- Rivets
-
Pastern strap
-
Back strap
-
Neoprene gaiter
Together, these components create a secure fit that can be adjusted to suit different hoof shapes and limb conformations.
Where Ahti is used
FlexMini Ahti is suitable for:
• Riding and driving
• Daily turnout
• Rehabilitation
• Horses with sensitive feet
• Foals and young horses needing support
Sizing
Available sizes:
60 – 65 – 70 – 75
Accurate sizing is essential.
Measurements should be taken after a fresh trim, and the hoof must seat fully into the toe of the boot for correct function.
Because of the smaller scale, Ahti is precise rather than overly forgiving.
Materials
-
TPU shell and fastening components for durability and flexibility
-
4 mm neoprene gaiter to protect sensitive skin
-
Durable rivets for secure attachment
Pads
Mini-specific 2.5 mm EVA pads are available if additional cushioning is needed.
Ahti is designed to function without thick padding, supporting natural hoof mechanics.
Care
-
Rinse after use
-
Allow to dry in a ventilated area
-
Avoid high heat or closed storage
-
Neoprene Gaiter can be machine washed (cold), air dry only

FlexMini Ahti uses a modular sizing system. Each size is created by combining the boot shell with the correct Rear Unit to achieve the final dimensions.
Boot sizing is based on the internal width of the boot, with the length proportionally longer to match the natural shape of miniature hooves.
Our boot measurements are taken from the inside of the boot shell, so it’s easy to compare them directly to your hoof measurements. Hooves should be measured shortly after a fresh trim.
If the hoof measurements are exactly at the upper limit of the boot measurements, and the horse has large heel bulbs, it is advisable to choose the next size up or use pads for adjustment.
Measure the width from the widest part of the hoof, with the tape measure perpendicular to the centre line of the hoof.
Now, compare the hoof measurement to this FlexMini Ahti size chart.

Materials
The boot shell, TPU gaiter and back strap are made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a material that is often called a hybrid between plastic and rubber. TPU offers the flexibility of rubber, but with the strength and durability of plastic. Neoprene gaiters are made soft but durable neoprene with laminated fabric on both sides. Rivets are made of steel. Pads are made of EVA foam. Extension straps are also made of TPU.
Care instructions
Flex Boots are easy to clean and maintain. The TPU material keeps its elasticity and lasts longer if the boots are in regular use. After using the boots, simply rinse off any dirt and hang the boots to dry in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Do not store the boots in a closed space such as a box or in your car. The boot shell, TPU gaiter, and back straps can be brushed clean and washed with water. Do not use cleaning products.
Neoprene gaiter can be rinsed with water or washed in a washing machine in a cold cycle. Air dry only, do not tumble dry.
Pads can be rinsed with water after use to remove any debris.
Do not use any cleaning products to clean the TPU parts.
We have retailers all around the world, so ordering from a Flex Boot stockist near you might be more convenient than ordering from our store which is located in Finland.
