Horse Fetlock Boots & Ankle Boots
Horse Fetlock Boots & Ankle Boots — Protecting the Joint That Takes the Most Impact.
The fetlock joint is one of the most vulnerable points on a horse's lower leg during ridden work. Brushing injuries — where the inside of one hind fetlock strikes the opposite leg — are among the most common causes of cuts, swelling, and soreness in horses in regular work. Fetlock boots provide targeted protection to this specific area, offering a lightweight, close-fitting solution that guards against brushing and impact without restricting movement or adding unnecessary bulk.
Types & What to Look For
- Standard fetlock boots – A simple, padded boot that wraps around the fetlock joint and fastens with velcro; the most widely used design for schooling and everyday ridden work
- Brushing fetlock boots – Feature a reinforced strike zone on the inside of the fetlock specifically designed to absorb the impact of brushing from the opposite hoof
- Open-fronted fetlock boots – Leave the front of the fetlock exposed to allow the horse to feel pole contact during jumping; used on the hind legs in combination with open-fronted tendon boots on the front
- Neoprene & memory foam fetlock boots – Soft, flexible materials that mould to the shape of the joint for a close, comfortable fit with minimal bulk
- Matching sets – Fetlock boots are most commonly purchased as part of a matching set with tendon or brushing boots for a coordinated, professional look
