The everyday choices are brushing boots (all-round protection for schooling and turnout), overreach boots (bell-shaped, protecting the heels from a back foot striking a front one), tendon and fetlock boots (for jumping), travel boots (padded legs for the lorry or trailer), plus tail bandages, exercise bandages and poultice/medical boots .

Type When to use Brushing boots Everyday schooling, lunging and turnout — all-round knock protection Overreach (bell) boots Horses that clip their front heels — turnout, ridden work, travel Tendon & fetlock boots Jumping — front tendon and hind fetlock protection Travel boots Padded leg cover for the lorry or trailer Poultice / medical boots Keeping dressings clean on a recovering hoof or leg Bandages & pads Tail protection for travel; exercise/stable bandaging (always over padding) How should horse boots fit? Fit boots on clean, dry legs, snug enough that they cannot slip or spin but loose enough to slide a finger under the straps. Most fasten front-to-back with the straps pointing backwards. Sizes usually run pony / cob / full — check each brand's guide, and remove boots promptly after work so the legs can cool. Bandages: the golden rule Never bandage directly onto a bare leg — always use padding
