Product Information
Full details
The Mackey Pull-On Overreach Boots are designed for horse owners and riders seeking to prevent painful overreach injuries during exercise, jumping, or turnout. These boots provide a secure, anatomical fit that shields the sensitive pastern area from accidental strikes by the hind hooves. While they offer excellent impact protection, users should note that as pull-on boots, they require slightly more effort to fit compared to Velcro-fastened alternatives.

FAQs
How do I determine the right size for my horse?
Refer to the size options available (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large) and measure your horse's current boots or hoof circumference to match the dimensions.
Can these boots be used for turnout?
Yes, they are suitable for turnout as the pull-on design prevents them from getting caught on bushes or fences like Velcro boots might.
Will these boots rub the horse's pasterns?
While generally safe, if your horse is sensitive, ensure the boots are clean and debris-free to prevent grit from causing abrasions.
How do I remove the boots?
Grip the top of the boot and pull it downwards over the heel of the hoof. If stuck, use a blunt-edged tool or have another person assist.
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, the rubber material is naturally waterproof and will not absorb water or become heavy when wet.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pulling the boot over the hoof
Ensure the hoof is clean and dry. Applying a small amount of vegetable oil or hoof dressing to the edges of the boot can help it slide over the heel more easily.
Boot is spinning on the hoof
The boot may be too large. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your horse's specific measurements.
Mud accumulation inside the boot
Rinse the inside of the boot thoroughly after each use to prevent debris from causing friction or sores on the pastern skin.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent protection against overreach injuries
- Secure fit that does not shift during exercise
- Durable, long-lasting rubber construction
- Low-profile design suitable for daily training
- Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
- Requires stretching to pull over the hoof
- Not adjustable once fitted
- Difficult to remove if the horse has very large hooves
- Not suitable for horses with sensitive skin that rubs easily
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the boots, hold the boot open with both hands and firmly stretch it over the horse's hoof before pulling it up into position around the pastern. To ensure the correct fit, measure your horse's hoof size accurately against the size guide, as these boots do not have adjustable straps.
For care, simply rinse the boots with cool water after use to remove grit and mud. If the rubber becomes dry or stiff, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the material's integrity.
