Shires Horse Boots
Shires horse boots cover the jobs around the barn and the ring: bell boots, over reach boots, travel boots, poultice boots and temporary shoe boots, plus the full ARMA line of brushing and tendon boots.
Buying tip:Shires horse boots suit riders who choose by the job, so pick the boot for the job first, then check the size chart for that exact style: the same size name, Pony or Horse, can measure differently from one Shires style to the next.
What riders say about Shires horse boots
Most of what riders write about Shires boots is about the ARMA line: they wash well, they stay on in turnout and the mesh keeps legs cool. These are their words.
Shires ARMA Neoprene Brushing Boots
★★★★★
Love these brushing boots! They are replacing my white Woof Boots because the outer layer of the Woof Boots keeps peeling away from neoprene. The Arma boots have stitching around the outside edges, preventing this from happening. This is my second pair of Armas, and I love the brand. FYI, the Pony size fits my 14.2-hand Welsh/TB ponies, but there is a Small Pony size available for smaller ponies.
Shires ARMA Neoprene Over Reach Boots
★★★★★
I adored these boots, I have used them consistently for the last 6 years, every three days I fling them in the washing machine with the other horsey wash stuff and they come up new every time. I’ve just bought some more pairs to have fancy white ones for the upcoming show season 🤍
Shires ARMA Air Motion Brushing Boots
the Shires Arma Air Motion brushing boots are very breathable but still pretty sturdy. I don’t use them for turnout, just riding, but the difference between regular neoprene boots (which I have been using on the hind legs) and these is huge. Front legs with the Air Motions have zero sweat, hind legs with Woofs are very sweaty after an hour.
Quoted word for word from public rider discussions and checked against the original posts, October 2026.
Shires ARMA Soft Top Over Reach Boots
★★★★★
Repeat purchase. I use these boots for my horse’s turnout to stop him over reaching and pulling his front shoes off when he is playing in the field and also while riding. Good fit for my arab. They don’t hold water or rub.

Shires horse boots: which line is right for you
Pick by the job. Shires makes a pull-on bell boot, a reflective over reach boot, a fleece lined travel boot, a poultice boot and a temporary shoe boot, and its ARMA line covers brushing, tendon and fetlock protection.
The table matches each job to the Shires boot built for it. Many horses need a pair for riding and a different one for the trailer.
| Job | Shires boot | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Guard the heel from a stray hind hoof | Pull On Ribbed Bell Boot | Light, stretchy rubber that slips on with no fasteners; the ribs add strength |
| Stay visible riding out | Equiflector Over Reach Boots | Shock-absorbing neoprene with reflective prints and double-sided touch-close fastenings |
| Haul to a show | Short Fleece Lined Travel Boots | Tough nylon outer, thick synthetic sheepskin lining and adjustable touch-close straps |
| Soak a hoof | Poultice Boot | Reusable and built for continuous soaking |
| Cover a lost shoe | Temporary Shoe Boot | Pull-on design with a nylon strap; protects the frog and sole |
| Protect legs in the ring | ARMA brushing and tendon boots | See the Shires ARMA page for every line and size |
The ARMA boots have their own page: Shires ARMA horse boots. Every Shires item is on the Shires page.
Shires bell boots and over reach boots: pull-on or touch-close?
The Pull On Ribbed Bell Boot is the simple one: light, stretchy rubber that slips on with no fasteners, with ribs for added strength. It helps deflect scuffs and protects against blows to the hoof area.
The Equiflector Over Reach Boots are the riding-out boot: shock-absorbing neoprene against over reaching injuries, with reflective prints and double-sided touch-close fastenings so your horse stays visible on the roads.
Riders use over reach boots for turnout and for riding, because a hind hoof that clips a front heel can pull a shoe. If you want a wider choice of over reach and bell boots, from neoprene to gloss rubber, the Shires ARMA range has them.
Shires travel, poultice and temporary shoe boots
The Short Fleece Lined Travel Boots are the trailer boot: a tough nylon outer over a thick synthetic sheepskin lining, closed with strong adjustable touch-close straps. Shires made them for horses that are not used to travel boots.
The Poultice Boot is for the foot your vet or farrier has pointed to. It is reusable, durable and designed to allow continuous soaking, the way you would treat thrush, an abscess or a puncture wound.
The Temporary Shoe Boot is the quick fix for a lost shoe. It protects the tender frog and sole, pulls on and tightens with a nylon strap without damaging the hoof wall. Keep one in the trailer, and call your farrier for the reset.
Shires horse boot sizes: Small Pony to X Large Horse
Horse boots are sized by horse type: Small Pony, Pony, Cob, Horse, Large Horse and X Large Horse, with Pony/Cob and Cob/Horse between them on some styles. No single style comes in every size, so use the size links in Find Your Fit to see what is made in yours.
Measure the leg where the boot sits before you choose, and measure around the pastern for bell boots. Then check the chart for the exact style, because one size name can measure differently from one line to the next. A rider who bought ARMA brushing boots for 14.2-hand ponies reports the Pony size fit them, with a Small Pony size for smaller ponies.
The ARMA boots have Shires's own size charts in the sizing section of the Shires ARMA horse boots page.
