About Jumping Boots

Jumping boots are purpose-built to protect your horse's legs during the unique demands of show jumping, eventing, and cross-country. When a horse lands from a fence, the forces on tendons, ligaments, and joints are immense — and the right boots can absorb impact, prevent interference, and support healthy leg function. At iRide EQ, our jumping boots collection features cutting-edge designs from the world's most respected equestrian brands.

From open-front tendon boots that allow the horse to feel a rail while protecting the tendon, to fetlock boots for the hind legs, our range covers every jumping need. Advanced features like D3O impact-absorbing inserts, ventilated shells for temperature regulation, and featherlight construction ensure your horse performs at its best without unnecessary weight or bulk. Whether you're jumping 60cm at home or navigating a World Cup course, protection and performance go hoof in hoof.

Why Shop Jumping Boots at iRide EQ?

Impact Absorption Technology

Jumping boots from brands like Majyk Equipe and Equifit use advanced impact-absorbing materials such as D3O that harden on impact to shield tendons and ligaments. This technology significantly reduces the shock transmitted through the leg on landing. Protect your horse's most valuable assets with engineered, science-backed protection.

Open-Front Design

Many of our jumping boots feature an open-front design that allows the horse to feel a pole if they rub, encouraging careful jumping technique, while still protecting the tendon area behind. This balance of feedback and protection is why open-front boots are the choice of professional riders worldwide.

Breathable & Lightweight

Today's jumping boots are engineered to minimise weight while maximising airflow, keeping your horse's legs cool during intense competition rounds. Overheated tendons are a leading cause of injury, so ventilation is critical. Our boots deliver protection without trapping heat.

Competition-Ready

Our jumping boots meet the standards demanded by Australian and international competition rules. Whether you're competing at local agricultural shows or FEI-level events, you can trust our range to deliver. Ride into the ring with confidence and style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between tendon boots and fetlock boots?

Tendon boots are worn on the front legs to protect the tendons at the back of the cannon bone from impact when landing over a fence. Fetlock boots are worn on the hind legs to protect the fetlock joint from brushing or striking. Both are essential for jumping.

Can I use jumping boots for dressage?

Jumping boots are generally not permitted in affiliated dressage competition, which typically allows only bandages or specific dressage boots. However, they're perfectly fine for schooling at home. Always check your discipline's equipment rules before competing.

What are open-front jumping boots?

Open-front boots have a gap across the front of the cannon bone so the horse can feel a pole if they knock it, encouraging a cleaner jumping technique. The back and sides are fully protected. They're the standard choice for show jumping at all levels.

How do I prevent boots from slipping during a round?

Ensure you have the correct size and that straps are fastened snugly from bottom to top. Clean the velcro regularly to maintain grip. Quality boots with anatomical shaping and strong fastenings, like those from Majyk Equipe, are designed to stay put even under intense competition conditions.

Are jumping boots allowed in eventing cross-country?

Yes, jumping boots are permitted for cross-country, and many riders choose boots with extra protection for this phase. Look for boots with high levels of impact absorption and secure fastenings. Some events have restrictions on certain boot types, so always check the rulebook.

Do you stock jumping boots for warmbloods?

Yes — our jumping boots come in sizes suitable for thoroughbreds, warmbloods, and ponies. Each product page includes a sizing chart to help you find the right fit. For help with sizing, contact our knowledgeable team.
