Boots + Wraps

Unless there is a pre-existing condition that needs protection, most backyard pleasure horses do not need any type of leg protection. However, some horses, no matter how light their workload is, are prone to over-reaching, forging, or interfering and injuring themselves. And of course, performance horses-hunters, jumping, endurance horses, barrel race, reiners, and many others, may benefit from the support and protection of a leg boot. Depending on what your horse's specific problem is, or what sport you're competing in, there are many boots to choose from. It's important that leg protection fits well, is kept clean and in the case of bell boots used for stabling or turn out, checked frequently in case the boots are chafing. Built up a sweat, grit, and dust can make boots uncomfortable, so cleaning them regularly is essential.
