What riders say about Back on Track horse boots

Riders tell us how these boots work for pastern protection and turnout.

Back on Track Pastern/Fetlock Band

★★★★★

I’ve purchased these before from another vendor and paid a lot more. My horse constantly rubs himself around his pastern, so these are a necessity. They seem to hold up for about a year before he rubs a whole through one. Velcro is very strong. These protect well and fit perfectly.

Back on Track horse boots

My Grand Prix horse likes to jump out of his paddock and do back flips, so I turn him out in these for hind protection. They never slip, slide, or come undone.

Who Back on Track horse boots are for

Back on Track horse boots are for riders who want a boot chosen for a specific job, in a range of boot types and colors.

Look elsewhere if you need boots approved for a particular competition ruleset; check your show's rules first, since the Pastern/Fetlock Band is not approved for competition.

  • Riders schooling on the flat who want front and hind exercise boots, including dressage riders looking at the Royal Work boots made for flatwork.
  • Riders in any discipline who want everyday exercise or brush boots in black, brown, white or other colors.
  • Owners who turn horses out in hind boots; one rider tells us the boots never slip, slide or come undone.
  • Riders whose horse rubs or knocks the pastern, who can look at the Pastern/Fetlock Band for everyday training and protection.
  • Riders who want bell boots for the heel and coronet, with sizes from pony to large horse on the Cool on Track bell boots.

Back on Track horse boot sizing and fit

Size labels depend on the boot. Most exercise, splint, brush, tendon, hock and knee boots use Small, Medium and Large, and some styles add X Large. Royal Work and Royal Fetlock boots use Cob and Horse, and the Cool on Track bell boots run from Pony to Large Horse.

Two product pages give a hind sizing tip. The 3-D Mesh Splint Boots w/Fur and the Royal Exercise Boots with Shock Absorbent Pad say to order the hind boots one size larger than the front. The Bell Boots page says they tend to run large and to size down if you are between sizes.
