Horse Boots/Bandages

Leg protection for horses

is essential for preventing injuries during work, competition, or even in the paddock. Different types serve various purposes, from supporting tendons to protecting against impacts. Here's an overview of the most common types:

1. **Bell Boots or Overreach Boots**: These are worn around the horse's pasterns, just above the hoof. They prevent the horse from overreaching with its hind feet and striking the back of its front feet, which can cause injury.

2. **Splint Boots or Brushing Boots**: Designed to protect the horse's legs from injuries caused by one leg striking the inside of the other leg, these boots are commonly used for daily exercise. They provide protection especially to the splint bones and are suitable for a variety of disciplines.

3. **Tendon Boots**: Tendon boots are specifically designed to protect the tendon area from strikes from the horse's hind hooves which can occur during jumping or fast-paced work. They offer support and protection to the tendons.

4. **Fetlock Boots**: These protect the horse's fetlock joints from knocks and scrapes, especially for jumping disciplines where hind leg protection is crucial to prevent injury from hitting obstacles.

5. **Polo Wraps/Bandages**: These are long, stretchy bandages that offer support and protection. They are versatile and can be used for a variety of activities but require proper application technique to avoid uneven pressure or slipping.

6. **Open Front Boots**: Popular in show jumping, these boots protect the back of the horse's leg without covering the front. This design encourages precision by allowing the horse to feel if it hits a rail with its front legs.

7. **Cross Country Boots**: These boots are designed for durability and protection against the varied and often more challenging terrain encountered in cross-country phases of eventing. They usually offer water resistance to prevent them from becoming heavy and waterlogged.

8. **Ice Boots**: Used for therapeutic reasons, ice boots help in cooling down the legs after strenuous exercise, reducing inflammation and aiding in recovery.

9. **Shipping Boots**: These are used to protect the horse's legs during transport. They are typically longer than other boots, covering the legs from the knees or hocks down to the hooves.

10. **Therapeutic Boots**: These include magnetic boots and other designs that aim to improve circulation and aid in the recovery of leg injuries.

Each type of leg protection serves a specific purpose, and the choice depends on the activity, the horse's needs, and the level of protection required. Proper fitting is crucial to ensure that the boots or wraps provide the intended protection without causing discomfort or restricting movement.
