Horse Boots & Leg Wraps

Choose sport boots for general exercise and interference protection, bell boots when the hind hoof may strike or pull a front shoe, and shipping boots for protection during transportation. The correct category depends on the activity and the part of the leg that needs coverage.

Use the manufacturer’s chart and measure the cannon-bone circumference where instructed rather than selecting only by breed or height. Some horses need a smaller size on the front legs and a larger size behind, so assess each pair of legs separately.

Choose a two-pack when only the front or hind legs require protection. A four-pack is more convenient when you consistently boot all four legs, but confirm that the same size will fit both front and hind legs before ordering the set.

Sport boots generally provide broader support and coverage around the lower leg, while splint or skid boots focus more directly on impact and interference areas. Choose the lighter splint style for straightforward brushing protection and a fuller sport boot when broader coverage is needed.

It should remain secure without sliding, rotating, pinching, or creating pressure at the top and bottom edges. You should be able to fasten it evenly and confirm that no dirt, hair, or folded material is trapped underneath.

Remove them after work so you can check the legs for heat, swelling, rubbing, or trapped debris. Boots that stay damp or dirty against the skin can cause irritation, so clean and dry them before the next use.

No boot can guarantee that an injury will not occur. Products such as Prodigy Sport Boots are designed to provide support and impact protection, but correct fit, appropriate conditioning, footing, and workload management remain essential.
