Horse Tendon Boots & Leg Guards
Tendon Boots & Leg Guards — Protecting the Structures That Keep Your Horse Sound.
The tendons and soft tissue structures of the lower leg are among the most vulnerable parts of a horse's anatomy — and among the most difficult to rehabilitate once injured. Tendon boots and leg guards are designed to absorb and deflect the impact of pole strikes, brushing, and self-inflicted knocks during ridden work, providing a critical layer of protection for the superficial digital flexor tendon, the check ligament, and the fetlock joint.
What to Look For
- Strike zone coverage – A reinforced, hardened panel on the inside of the cannon bone and fetlock area is the most important feature; this is where impact from the opposite hoof or a pole is most likely to land
- Breathability – Open-cell foam linings and perforated outers allow heat to dissipate during work, reducing the risk of tendon damage from overheating
- Secure fit without compression – Boots should sit firmly without applying pressure to the tendons themselves; over-tight boots can restrict blood flow and cause the very problems they're designed to prevent
- Quick drainage – Perforated designs shed water rapidly, making them suitable for cross-country, water complexes, and wet arena surfaces
- Easy to clean – Smooth linings and outer shells that rinse clean quickly are a practical advantage for horses in regular work
