Protective horse boots guard your horse's legs from knocks, scrapes and overreach injuries. Different boots do different jobs, so it helps to match the boot to the work.
For riding
Open-front jumping boots protect the tendons at the back of the leg while leaving the front free, so a horse still feels a rail. Brushing boots cover the inside of the leg where a horse can strike itself. Sport medicine and support boots add wraparound coverage for flatwork. Bell boots protect the heel bulbs from overreaching, and many horses wear them for turnout too.
For turnout and travel
Turnout boots protect the legs in the field, and shipping boots cover from above the knee or hock down to the coronet band for trailering.
Fit and care
A boot should be snug enough not to slip but never tight, with the straps closing toward the back. Keep boots clean so grit doesn't rub, and check the legs for heat or rubs after each use.
