These bell boots reduce hoof wear, protect the ball joints, protect your horse from overeaching and stop him pulling the shoes off. They cover a horse’s feet from above the coronary band down to the below the heel and provide protection from the hind feet. Why use bell boots? Horses that tend to overreach with their hind feet can knick the back of their front hoof and their sensitive bulb, or as the hind feet step on the backs of the front shoes and loosen or pull them off. This is costly in the amount of time off, especially if there was damage to the hoof wall, and the actually financial cost of having to reset the lost shoe. Horses most commonly overreach when the horse is jumping, working in mud or on a slippery surface, running cross-country, or lungeing. Bell boots are occasionally worn when shipping a horse. If your horse tends to lose shoes in turnout, or finishes a ride with dirt marks, scrapes or bruises on his heels or pasterns, he may benefit from wearing bell boots. If you compete in high-performance events such as jumping, roping or reining, the power of a horse’s hind end driving underneath their bodies can also cause injury to their front feet. All this can also cause a lost shoe and damage the horse’s hoof.
