Horse Boots & Bandages

Practical leg protection for everyday riding, turnout and competition

Horse boots and bandages are one of those pieces of kit you’ll reach for for all sorts of reasons, from everyday schooling and hacking to turnout, travelling and competition days. The right leg protection can help guard against knocks, brushing and overreaching, while some styles also offer useful support during exercise or recovery.

Choosing the right horse boots for the job

There’s no single horse boot that suits every horse or every situation. Brushing boots are a dependable choice for everyday riding, particularly for horses that catch the inside of their legs, while overreach boots can help protect the heels and coronet band from being struck by the hind feet. For wetter months and muddy turnout, turnout boots offer extra protection when field conditions aren’t exactly forgiving.

You’ll also find exercise boots, fetlock boots, tendon boots and horse bandages for different disciplines and levels of protection. Fit matters just as much as style: boots should sit securely without pinching, slipping or trapping unnecessary heat. Trusted names including Woof Wear, Eskadron and Veredus offer plenty of practical options for everything from daily yard use to competition.

Complete your horse’s everyday kit

Alongside horse boots, it’s worth checking your Horse Care kit for leg washes, cooling products and other post-exercise essentials, while our Horse Tack and Saddle Pads ranges can help keep the rest of your riding setup working comfortably together.

As with most horse kit, the best choice is usually the one that suits your horse, their workload and the conditions you’re actually riding in.
