If you are new to horse boots then it is imperative that you choose the correct ones for your horse for different occasions. We have a great collection of competition boots, exercise boots and travel boots to make sure that your horse is comfortable at all times.

Competition boots are usually used in the form of an exercise such as cross country, eventing and hunter trials. These are designed with a more substantial material than other forms of horse boots for more protection. Their legs require more shielding from a potential injury during these horse activities especially when show jumping where they can knock their legs.

Exercise boots are the horse footwear which is most commonly used during everyday activities. These kinds of boots are exceptional for the young horses which cannot control their balance as much as the older ones and provide a little extra protection from knocks and other injuries. Another way that these are useful is when a horses back legs are too close together meaning they are prone to scrape one leg off the other and these can protect them from this.

Travel boots are used for exactly what they say in the name – travelling. These are worn on all four legs and they go further up the leg than any other horse boot whilst still giving them the freedom to move. They are usually made with a flexible and breathable material but have padding for extra protection and protect the majority of their legs.

Safety wear is important especially if you are riding in the dark or in the typically unpredictable British weather. It is most commonly worn when riding near cars and are made out of reflective material which allows vehicles to see you from a distance. A popular form of safety wear when riding is the ‘polite clothing’ which has a warning sign on the back of a jacket to warn cars and other vehicles passing to slow down.
