Product Information
Full details
The Mackey Pull-On Overreach Boots are essential safety equipment for horse owners looking to prevent overreach injuries during turnout or active riding. Designed for horses and ponies that tend to strike their forelimbs with their hind hooves, these durable boots offer a reliable protective barrier for the pastern area. While their simple pull-on design allows for quick application, users should note that they require the hoof to be lifted during fitting, which may be challenging for horses that are sensitive to handling.

FAQs
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the circumference of your horse's pastern and compare it against the sizing options provided. If your horse is between sizes, opt for the larger size for easier application.
Can these be left on 24/7?
While they are suitable for turnout, it is recommended to inspect them daily for mud buildup or signs of rubbing to ensure the horse's skin stays healthy.
Are these boots machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash these boots with water and mild soap to prolong the lifespan of the material.
Do I need to take these off after a ride?
Yes, it is best practice to remove them after riding to allow the pastern area to breathe and to check for any minor scrapes or debris caught inside.
Will these protect against serious shoe loss?
These boots provide a buffer against impact, but they are primarily intended to prevent minor injuries. Always consult with your farrier if your horse frequently loses shoes due to overreaching.
Troubleshooting
Boot is difficult to pull over the hoof
Ensure the hoof is clean and dry. Sometimes applying a tiny amount of baby powder or silicone spray to the inside of the boot can help it slide on easier.
Boot spins or slides down during exercise
This usually indicates the size is too large for the horse's pastern. Verify you are using the correct size by measuring the circumference of the pastern.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Streamlined pull-on design reduces the risk of snagging on jumps or fences
- Highly durable material for long-lasting protection
- Easy to clean after use in muddy or wet conditions
- Available in multiple sizes to ensure an accurate fit
Cons
- Requires lifting the horse's leg to pull the boot over the hoof
- Not adjustable once applied
- Can be difficult to remove if the boots become stretched or frozen
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the boots, hold the boot with both hands and stretch the opening wide enough to slide over the horse's hoof while the leg is lifted. Ensure the boot is seated correctly around the pastern and not folded over. These boots are compatible with most standard horseshoe types. To clean, simply rinse them with water to remove dirt and mud; if they are heavily soiled, use a soft brush and mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the material.
