Galloping over varied terrain, jumping fixed obstacles at speed, and passing through water complexes all create impact forces and exposure to hazards that standard schooling boots are not designed to handle. XC boots are built specifically for these conditions — with harder outer shells, more substantial impact protection, drainage systems for water jumps, and secure fastenings that stay in place at speed and through mud. Getting the right boots on before a cross-country round is one of the most important preparation steps a rider can take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to Look For in XC Boots\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpact protection\u003c\/strong\u003e – A hard or semi-rigid outer shell that absorbs and deflects the force of a strike from a fixed fence; the most critical feature of any XC boot and the primary reason they differ from standard exercise boots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecure fastenings\u003c\/strong\u003e –  Velcro, clip, or combination fastenings that won't loosen at speed or in water; boots that slip or rotate mid-course are a safety risk and a distraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater drainage\u003c\/strong\u003e –  Drainage holes or channels that allow water to escape quickly after a water complex, preventing the boot from becoming waterlogged and heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight construction\u003c\/strong\u003e –  Despite the level of protection required, XC boots should be as light as possible to avoid adding unnecessary weight to the horse's legs over a long course\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront \u0026amp; hind sets\u003c\/strong\u003e –  Front XC boots typically protect the cannon bone and tendon; hind boots focus on the fetlock and lower leg; most riders use a full set of four for complete coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe stock cross-country horse boots and XC boots from leading equestrian protection brands in a range of sizes and colours for horses and ponies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full range below and make sure your horse's legs are properly protected before you leave the start box.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lemieux-mimsafe-xc-boot-front","title":"Lemieux Mimsafe Xc Boots","description":"\u003ch2\u003eIntroducing the Lemieux Mimsafe XC Boots\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ultimate choice for equestrians who demand superior protection and comfort for their horses during cross-country events.
