Horse Boots & Bandages

Our range of tendon and fetlock boots are a big seller, easy to fit and great whether competing or schooling at home. Travel boots offer great protection when loading or travelling and are always a firm favourite too. Whatever you need – you can find it here. 

Please note, boots are sold in pairs unless stated. 

• When showjumping, what can my horse have on to protect his legs?  

  • Normally we would advise a set of tendon boots and a set of fetlock boots. Tendon boots protect the back of your horse's front legs from strikes from its hind hooves which can occur when landing after a jump. In comparison, fetlock boots are used on the horse's hind legs and just protect the fetlock from brushing injuries.

• What do overreach boots protect from?  

  • Overreach boots (sometimes known as bell boots) are usually worn to prevent overreaching (when the horse kicks or catches his front heels with the toes of his back feet, resulting in injury) or if the horse is wearing shoe studs, to protect him from accidentally injuring himself with the studs of their opposing hoof.

• For travel, what will give my horse the best protection?  

  • A good set of travel boots will provide protection to the delicate lower legs which have very little muscle and can easily become damaged if your horse moves around a lot in their box when travelling. Our Premier Equine travel boots come in sets of four (so each leg is protected) with styles which are either full length or shorter cut below the knee. These are therefore often suited to horses that do not like the restriction and bulkiness of a boot around their knees or hocks.

• Is there an alternative to bandaging my horses' legs but still give them some protection?  

  • Check out our Sports Medicine Boots, which will provide support and protection for the fetlock, ligaments and tendons. They also give suspension support and are recommended by vets for support purposes.

• Do magnetic boots have a benefit for my horse?  

  • Magnetic boots for horses can provide numerous benefits to older or frequently stabled horses and can help to reduce signs of splints and windgalls. They can also be very effective in cases where there are symptoms of arthritis with your horse. Magnetic boots work by helping to increase your horse's blood flow in key areas, so please also see our magni-teque hock, fetlock and knee boots.
