About Bell Boots

Bell boots, also known as overreach boots, are designed to protect the delicate heel bulbs and coronary band of the front hooves from being struck by the hind feet — an injury known as overreach. This common injury can cause painful bruising, cuts, and even lameness, making bell boots an essential piece of kit for many horses. At iRide EQ, our bell boots range covers everything from everyday turnout boots to competition-ready styles.

Modern bell boots come in a variety of materials and designs, from traditional rubber pull-on boots to innovative velcro-fastened options with fleece lining for extra comfort. Whether your horse needs bell boots for riding, turnout, or competition, we have options to suit every situation and budget. Brands like Majyk Equipe and For Horses bring premium materials and thoughtful design to ensure a secure fit that won't spin or rub.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are bell boots used for?

Bell boots protect the front hooves' heel bulbs and coronary band from being struck by the hind shoes or toes, an injury known as overreach. They're worn during riding, turnout, or competition to prevent cuts, bruising, and pulled shoes.

Should bell boots be worn during turnout?

Yes — turnout is when many overreach injuries occur due to playful galloping and sudden stops. Bell boots provide essential protection during turnout, especially for shod horses or those prone to pulling front shoes. Choose durable rubber or turnout-specific boots for paddock use.

How do I know what size bell boots to buy?

Measure the width of your horse's hoof at the widest point and the length from the coronary band to the ground. Each brand has its own sizing chart. The boot should cover the heel bulbs without dragging on the ground or interfering with movement.

What is the difference between pull-on and velcro bell boots?

Pull-on bell boots slide over the hoof and have no fastenings, making them very secure but harder to put on. Velcro bell boots open and close around the hoof, making them easier to fit and remove. Velcro styles are popular for daily use, while pull-on boots are favoured for turnout.

Can bell boots be worn on all four legs?

Bell boots are most commonly worn on the front feet only, as overreach injuries affect the front heels. However, some riders use them on all four legs for horses with specific interference issues or during rehabilitation. Consult your farrier or vet for tailored advice.

How do I stop bell boots from spinning?

Choose no-turn bell boots with a shaped design that locks into position, or boots with a firm fit around the pastern. Ensure the size is correct — boots that are too loose will spin. Brands like Majyk Equipe design their bell boots with anti-spin features for a stable fit.
