Over Reach & Bell Boots for Horses

Other styles feature a sheepskin collar to cushion the effect of the neoprene or rubber. Usually, faux sheepskin is used as this is actually easier to keep clean and less likely to go into lumps and clumps when it dries than real sheepskin. One of the standout features of the Norton Overreach Boots is their high-quality material. Made of smooth PVC, these boots are durable and easy to clean. The pre-moulded bulb shape ensures that the boots stay in place around the pastern and hoof, preventing them from turning and providing consistent protection for my horse.

One of the standout features of these boots is the fur trim. Not only does it add a touch of luxury and style to the boots, but it also serves a practical purpose by ensuring a comfortable fit and preventing rubbing around the pastern. The soft lining of the boots further enhances their comfort, making them an ideal choice for long rides and demanding activities. Overreach boots should be a snug fit; a boot that moves too much will actually rub around the pastern area and could create sores. The boot should cover the bulbs of the heel but should crucially also have 1cm of clearance when the horse is in halt on a hard, flat surface. Note: Due to the structure of the boot and the nature of the Shoc Impact Responsive material it is difficult to over-tighten these boots. The unique bell boot design of these Woof Wear overreach boots allows them to move freely around the pastern, providing no-rub protection for the bulbs of the heel. This design ensures that my horse remains comfortable and protected throughout our rides, without the boots causing any irritation or discomfort.

Some horses wear overreach boots all the time, this may be because they are shod with a bar shoe or perhaps because they are just very prone to that type of injury. These boots offer less rigid protection than other conventional overreach boots, but their soft fleece collar provides extra cushioning to minimize chaffing and rubbing. Horses that are prone to overreaching or who wear bar shoes – eggbars or heartbars – are often turned out in overreach boots. As they could be on the horse for a long time, it is important that the boots don’t rub. Some horses seem more prone to rubs than others. Overreach boots are made from either rubber or neoprene which is stiffer. The shape may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but the principle is all the same; the boot is there to protect the bulbs of the heel from injury. The first thing I noticed about these bell boots is their sturdy PVC construction. This material ensures that the boots are durable and able to withstand the wear and tear of daily use. I have been using these Ribbed Bell Boots for quite some time now, and they have held up remarkably well, showing minimal signs of wear.

The Woof Wear Faux Sheep Pro Over Reach Boots are suitable for all aspects of ridden work, including competition use. They are both stylish and functional, offering superb protection against overreach injuries. The high-quality materials used in these boots, such as the 7mm neoprene base with an additional 3mm insert to protect the bulbs of the heel, showcase their commitment to durability and protection. These practical boots have a soft but strong outer shell, smooth neoprene lining and Lycra binding to prevent rubbing. Bell boots tend to be more hardwearing than overreach boots because they’re made using strong materials capable of withstanding significant impact, though they’re often less convenient to fit because they traditionally have to be pulled over the hoof. Thanks to advancements in material technology, however, new bell boots are being designed all the time. Therefore, there’s ample choice of colour, style, and fit to guarantee comfort, safety, and co-ordination. The high natural rubber content in these overreach boots is impressive. It provides flexibility, which not only enhances the fit but also reduces the likelihood of rubbing. This feature is essential for horses that might be susceptible to irritations or injuries in this area. The Rhinegold Over Reach Boots have held up incredibly well so far, and I am confident in their long-lasting durability.

Designed specifically for traditional cobs and draft horses, these Velcro-fastening boots are made of a durable synthetic leather outer with a luxury faux fur trim top top to prevent rubbing. The medium size is designed for smaller cobs that overreach and scuff from wider flared feet, to protect heel bulbs and skin above the coronet band. The large is designed for taller cobs with all the protection of the medium size, plus added length to help those prone to pulling front shoes off. Please be aware that correct fitting is essential for the optimum use of Shoc XC boots. To achieve a safe & secure fit these cross-country boots need to be put on firmly. These classic style bell boots provide the best protection against overreach injuries, making them perfect for training or trail riding. There are generally fewer safety concerns with overreach boots for show jumping compared to cross-country as, for a start, they are on the horse for much less time – maybe one minute as opposed to five or six minutes or longer. And the horse is not travelling at such a great speed.

If you watch the horse walk, you can see that at a point within the step, the overreach boot will momentarily lower protecting the bulbs of the heel without reaching the ground. If the boot sits too low then the horse could tread on it when he moves and this creates the potential for stumbling or tripping and a far worse injury than an overreach. Pulling a shoe is annoying and inconvenient and can result in a secondary injury if the horse treads on one of the clenches. Overreach boots offer protection to the horse during ridden work and on occasion, during turnout.Some horses only wear them when the occasion demands, for example, a young horse on the lunge who could exhibit some excitable or unpredictable behaviour or an event horse going cross-country. The Benefits of Using Overreach Boots The double-faced double Velcro fastening with flap is another practical feature of these boots. This design ensures a secure fit and makes it easy to put on and remove the boots, saving me time and effort in preparing my horse for our rides.
