  We study static, spherically symmetric, Skyrme black holes in the context of
the assumption that they can be viewed as bound states between ordinary bare
black holes and solitons. This assumption and results stemming from the
isolated horizons formalism lead to several conjectures about the static black
hole solutions. These conjectures are tested against the Skyrme black hole
solutions. It is shown that, while there is in general good agreement with the
conjectures, a crucial aspect seems to violate one of the conjectures.
