Bell Boots
Bell boots or overreach boots are used to protect the back of the pastern and the bulb of the hoof from overreach injuries. Traditionally made from rubber and designed to be pulled on over the hoof, modern bell boots feature Velcro® style closures for easy on and off. Many overreach boots are crafted from ballistic nylon or durable neoprene fabrics for improved impact protection and long-term durability. No-turn bell boots feature a small interior “bump” that prevents the bell boot from spinning. Bell boots with sheepskin trim work well for sensitive horses. Look for protective options from EquiFit®, Professional’s Choice®, Schockemohle®, and LeMieux®.
