Product Information

You have the option of using different types of overreach boot for different occasions. A horse that is mooching around the field at home is probably at far less risk of an overreach than a horse going show jumping or cross-country. One of the standout features of these boots is the luxurious faux sheepskin collar. Not only does it add a touch of elegance to the boots, but it also serves a practical purpose by preventing the ingress of sand and grit. This is especially beneficial for sensitive horses, as it minimizes the risk of abrasion and irritation.

There are generally fewer safety concerns with overreach boots for show jumping compared to cross-country as, for a start, they are on the horse for much less time – maybe one minute as opposed to five or six minutes or longer. And the horse is not travelling at such a great speed. The first thing I noticed about these bell boots is their sturdy PVC construction. This material ensures that the boots are durable and able to withstand the wear and tear of daily use. I have been using these Ribbed Bell Boots for quite some time now, and they have held up remarkably well, showing minimal signs of wear.The high natural rubber content in these overreach boots is impressive.

This feature is essential for horses that might be susceptible to irritations or injuries in this area. The Rhinegold Over Reach Boots have held up incredibly well so far, and I am confident in their long-lasting durability. Some horses wear overreach boots all the time, this may be because they are shod with a bar shoe or perhaps because they are just very prone to that type of injury. Most people go for ‘cheap and cheerful’ in the field as they can trashed or even lost in a large enough area or in deep muddy gateways. Use bright colours and then you can see from a distance if they are still in place on the horse.

These overreach boots are designed to sit low over the bulb of the heel, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. The double touch and close fastening makes it easy to put on and remove the boots, saving me time and effort in preparing my horse for our rides. Additionally, the lightweight design and perfect shaping allow my horse to move freely without any discomfort or restrictions. You should, therefore, only use protective boots or bandages if the horse really needs them and not every horse requires overreach boots.

Use bell boots on your horse's front legs to protect the hoof areaand prevent the horse's horseshoes from coming off. The sensitive heelarea can be bruised or damaged by the horseshoes of the hind legs if the horse reaches into the front hooves with its hind hooves. To prevent this type of injury, over reach boots are a great option. The Shires fur trimmed overreach boots are equipped with anti-spin nodules, which help keep the boots correctly aligned during our rides. This feature ensures that the boots remain in place and provide consistent protection for my horse’s hooves. Overreach boots should be a snug fit; a boot that moves too much will actually rub around the pastern area and could create sores. The boot should cover the bulbs of the heel but should crucially also have 1cm of clearance when the horse is in halt on a hard, flat surface.

Note: Due to the structure of the boot and the nature of the Shoc Impact Responsive material it is difficult to over-tighten these boots. The double-faced double Velcro fastening with flap is another practical feature of these boots. This design ensures a secure fit and makes it easy to put on and remove the boots, saving me time and effort in preparing my horse for our rides. The recessed stitching on these boots is another feature that sets them apart from other overreach boots on the market. This design not only enhances their durability but also prevents any irritation or chafing that could occur from exposed stitching. I am confident that these boots will stand the test of time, thanks to their robust construction and attention to detail. The unique bell boot design of these Woof Wear overreach boots allows them to move freely around the pastern, providing no-rub protection for the bulbs of the heel. This design ensures that my horse remains comfortable and protected throughout our rides, without the boots causing any irritation or discomfort.Cleaning these boots is a breeze, as they can be easily sprayed or washed with water and air-dried. This ensures that the boots are always in top condition, ready for your next ride. These overreach boots are versatile and suitable for a range of activities. Whether you’re taking your horse out for exercise or turning them out in the field, these boots will help keep them safe and protected. They’re also great for horses who tend to overreach or clip their heels, as they offer an extra layer of protection against this kind of injury.
