Overreach Boots & Bell Boots — Stopping One of the Most Common and Preventable Leg Injuries.
An overreach occurs when a horse's hind hoof strikes the heel or coronary band of the front foot — most commonly during jumping, fast work, or when a horse is tired and loses its natural rhythm. The resulting cuts and bruising to the heel bulbs and coronary band can be painful, slow to heal, and in some cases lead to permanent scarring. Overreach boots are one of the simplest and most effective pieces of protective equipment available, and for horses prone to overreaching, they should be considered essential rather than optional.
Types & What to Consider
-
Pull-on overreach boots – A single piece of rubber or PU that pulls over the hoof; no fastenings to come undone, making them reliable for cross-country and turnout use
-
Velcro & clip fastening boots – Easier to put on and take off than pull-on designs; ideal for horses that are difficult to boot or for riders who change boots frequently between disciplines
-
Petal boots – Made from individual rubber petals that flex independently; reduce the risk of the boot being pulled off in deep going and are popular for cross-country
-
Neoprene & soft overreach boots – Lightweight, flexible designs suited to flatwork and schooling where a softer boot is preferred
-
Turnout overreach boots – Durable, waterproof designs built to stay in place during field turnout without rubbing or retaining moisture
