What are boots on horses for?
Horse boots are protective boots or wraps that help support the animal’s lower leg and hoof. This part of a horse can be susceptible to trauma caused by difficult terrain or gait irregularities. Racing horses will often wear horse boots during rides and turnout since they’re moving fast; this naturally makes them more susceptible to injury. Similar applies to jumping horses, as it's easy for them to nick their lower leg on a fence.
What boots do I need for my horse?
There are many types of horse boots, and finding the right pair depends on your particular concerns. Here are a few popular horse boot types:
-
Brushing boots: Everyday boots designed to protect the lower legs from the opposite hoof knocking or “brushing” the other leg.
-
Overreach boots: Surround the hoof and heels to protect from over-reaches and strikes when the hind hoof cuts into the front.
-
Cross country: Specially designed to protect your horse from the additional risks of cross-country jumping.
-
Travel boots: Protect a large part of the horse’s leg from any impact during travelling.
