What are protective boots for horses?
Protective boots for horses are specialized leg coverings designed to shield the horse's lower limbs from impact, abrasion, interference injuries, and strain during exercise, training, competition, and turnout. They are constructed from a variety of materials including neoprene, leather, synthetic leather, memory foam, gel, and hardened plastic shells, offering different levels of protection, support, breathability, and durability depending on the intended use. They are secured to the leg using velcro straps, buckles, or lace closures.
What is the use of protective boots for horses
Their primary purpose is to protect against interference injuries, wounds and bruising caused when a horse strikes one leg with the opposite hoof or shoe during movement, a common occurrence in horses that travel close, are young and unbalanced, or are working at speed or through tight turns. They provide tendon and ligament support, helping to stabilize the lower leg structures during strenuous work and reducing the risk of soft tissue injuries that can result in prolonged lay-up and recovery periods.
What are splint boots for horses?
Splint boots are one of the most commonly used and versatile types of protective horse boots, designed specifically to protect the cannon bone, splint bone, and soft tissues of the lower leg, particularly the inside of the leg where interference strikes most frequently occur. They take their name from the splint bones, the two small bones that run alongside the cannon bone on either side of the lower leg, which are particularly vulnerable to concussive injury from interference or direct impact during work.
