Overreach Boots

Overreach boots or bell boots prevent horses from kicking their front hooves and maybe even kick off their front shoes. They can be used in different disciplines such as dressage and showjumping.

What are overreach boots used for?

A horse’s legs are extremely fragile, so good leg protection is important. This not only applies to tendons but also to the hoof, heel bulbs and coronary band. That’s why overreach boots are a good purchase. Overreach boots or bell boots prevent a horse from kicking off its front shoes with its back hooves. This can also happen with young horses that are unbalanced and horses with long strides.

The protection is also useful in other disciplines such as dressage and showjumping. Moreover, it’s also interesting for grazing and the transport of horses. 

Kentucky Horsewear overreach boots are specially designed to absorb shocks and prevent close contact with the pastern. The boots we make are strong, flexible and comfortable. They also offer a perfect fit and are suitable for all kinds of equestrian disciplines.
