There Are Many Types Of Boots That Your Horses Could Require

by Liz Seyi Digital marketing manager

Among the most important investments that you are ever likely to make for your horse are the boots that will be instrumental in protecting its legs and in the process, ensuring its utmost fitness and happiness.

Not only could the right boots be crucial for preventing your horse from suffering injuries in competition, but they can also minimise the risk of recurring injuries in horses with imperfect conformation.  

Below are just some of the types of boots that you may feel the need to purchase for your horse, and which – when you purchase from Imperial Equestrian – you can expect to look good and last for a while, at the same time as fulfilling a wealth of practical purposes.

Brushing boots

When you are concerned about the possibility of one of your horse’s lower legs being struck or brushed against by the opposite leg or hoof, it is brushing boots – otherwise known as splint boots – that you are advised to invest in.

We are proud to stock all manner of Dressage Brushing Boots here at Imperial Equestrian, including those of the acclaimed PS of Sweden range.

Overreach boots

For lunging or schooling, you may choose to combine brushing boots with overreach boots, which are invaluable in competition due to the protection they provide to the horse’s heel from being clipped by the back hooves. The resultant impact absorption helps to prevent cuts and grazes.

This type of boot can be especially useful for minimising the risk of injury in young horses and those with short backs.

Wraps and bandages

Bandages and wraps will always be a vital purchase for protecting a horse’s legs from knocks and scrapes, and are especially frequently used in support of high-impact flat work, such as dressage, given the particular protection that they give to tendons and fetlock joints.

You may also use bandages to protect your horse from contamination and strengthen its leg when it is recovering from injury, as well as to keep its legs clean overnight if you don’t have the time to wash your horse prior to a show.
