Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of these bell boots?

The primary purpose is to protect the horse's lower leg and hoof from overreach injuries, where the hind hoof strikes the heel bulb of the front hoof, and to help prevent pulled shoes.

Are these boots suitable for turnout?

Yes, they are designed for everyday use, including turnout, providing durable protection during pasture time.

How do I ensure I select the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your horse's lower leg and consult the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. A proper fit should cover the hoof and heel bulb without being excessively tight or loose.

Can the fleece cuff cause rubbing?

The fleece cuff is designed for comfort and to prevent rubbing. However, ensure a correct fit and keep the cuff clean. If rubbing occurs, check for fit issues or debris.

How should I clean and maintain the boots?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Keep the touch tape closures clean for optimal performance.

Are these boots intended for therapeutic use?

These boots are designed for protective and preventative purposes during everyday use, not as therapeutic or medical devices.

What type of closure system do they use?

They use secure touch tape (hook and loop) closures, which allow for easy adjustment and a snug fit.

Troubleshooting

Boots slipping down the leg

Ensure the touch tape closures are secured tightly and evenly. Check that the size is appropriate for the horse's leg circumference. Clean the inside of the boot and the horse's leg to remove any debris that might affect grip.

Fleece cuff causing irritation

Verify the boots are not too tight. Ensure the fleece cuff is clean and free of debris. If irritation persists, consider a brief break from using the boots or consult with a veterinarian or equine professional.

Rubber cracking or showing signs of wear

Inspect the boots regularly for damage. While durable, extreme conditions or constant abrasion can cause wear. Replace the boots if significant cracking or damage compromises their protective function.

Pros and Cons

  • Provides excellent protection against overreach injuries.
  • Durable rubber material ensures longevity.
  • Fleece cuff enhances comfort and prevents chafing.
  • Easy to secure with touch tape closures.
  • Suitable for various equestrian activities.

Cons

  • May require checking fit to prevent slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the boots are the correct size for your horse. Place the boot around the lower leg, ensuring the fleece cuff sits just above the hoof. Secure the touch tape closures firmly, but not so tight as to cause discomfort. The boot should cover the entire hoof, including the heel bulb, to prevent overreaching.

Compatibility: These bell boots are designed for use on horses of all disciplines for everyday protection. They are compatible with standard horse footwear, including shoes and barefoot horses. Ensure proper fit regardless of shoeing status.

Care: After use, clean the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Inspect the touch tape closures regularly and clean them if necessary to maintain a secure fastening. Periodically check the rubber for any signs of wear or damage.
