Why do you need to use overreach boots? An over reach boot, or bell boot, will protect your horse’s heel from being struck by the hind foot. This is an extremely common occurrence, particularly when jumping, doing pole work or if you have a horse who tends to over-track.
Horse boots will prevent your equine from getting overreach wounds, but it will also provide ample protection for your horse’s shoes. Many horses tend to pull shoes by stepping on the back of the front shoes with the hind hoof – this is typically the case when the horse is turned out in the field. A pair of overreach boots will sit over the back of your horse’s shoes, thereby serving as a much-needed layer between each foot.
At Chelford Farm Supplies, we stock a vast selection of overreach boots for horses from a range of our favourite brands including LeMieux, Shires Equestrian, Eskadron and Woof Wear. The horse boots selection includes rubber boots, neoprene styles and leather overreach boots to suit all occasions.
