Frequently Asked Questions

What type of horse boots should I choose for my horse?

That mainly depends on your horse’s activity. Splint boots protect the inside of the cannon bone from interference injuries and prevent brushing and splint bone injuries. They’re padded and often have a hard strike plate for added protection. Splint boots are common in training, reining, barrel racing, cutting, and everyday riding. Skid boots protect the hind fetlocks and pasterns from abrasions during sliding stops and fast turns. They have a reinforced cup at the back that shields the fetlock joint. They’re used for reining, working cowhorse, and roping to prevent burns or scrapes from sliding or sharp stops. Sports Medicine Boots (SMBs) wrap around the lower leg, offering tendon support as well as impact protection. They stabilize tendons and ligaments, helping prevent strains during high-speed or tight-turn work. Most commonly used for Barrel racing, roping, and other high-impact events.

Are hoof boots a good alternative to horseshoes?

Yes—hoof boots can be a very good alternative to horseshoes, depending on the horse’s needs, workload, and environment. They’re especially useful for horses kept barefoot (without traditional metal shoes) who still need extra protection when riding on rough or abrasive ground.

How should horse boots fit?

Horse boots should fit snugly without pinching or slipping. Look for secure closures like velcro straps to prevent rubbing or rotation during movement.

How do I care for my horse boots?

After each ride, remove dirt and sweat buildup. Gently clean with mild soap and water, then let them dry naturally to maintain their durability and comfort.

Can I use the same boots for training and trail riding?

Splint, Sport & Skid boots are more for support & protection during discipline specific activities, if used for trail riding make sure you have breathable material so they do not get too hot and you want a nice snug fit to keep debris from getting lodged in the boot. Hoof or bell boots on the other hand (for hoof protection rather than leg support) work for both training and trail riding. Many riders use them in the arena for conditioning and then out on trails for rocky or hard terrain.
