What riders say about our show jumping boots
I was unsure at first because of the price. But after a whole season, they still look really good and nothing has stretched out.

For the specific requirements of jumping training
When jumping, out on the trail, or during training, pace, direction of movement, and leg position change in a split second. This can lead to brushing or external impacts, especially on the front legs. Our show jumping boots protect the vulnerable areas without unnecessarily restricting the horse's natural leg movement.
When are our jumping boots useful?
Our show jumping boots are suitable for training situations where the front legs require additional external protection due to dynamic movements and close leg contact.
- In jump training and on the course: During take-off, landing, and fast lines, our show jumping boots protect against external impacts and brushing.
- During pole and gymnastic work: Many consecutive changes in movement increase the likelihood of the front legs touching each other.
- During tight turns: On short lines and during quick changes of direction, the legs pass closer to one another and are more prone to brushing.
- For horses with a narrow way of going: When the front legs are positioned very close together, the boot creates an additional protective layer between the leg and potential contact.
- For young or still unbalanced horses: If secure coordination is lacking, imprecise movements can more frequently lead to external contact on the leg.
The benefits of our show jumping boots
Our show jumping boots combine targeted external protection with a fit designed for active movement in show jumping.
Protection of the tendon area from external influences
The boot protects the sensitive back area of the cannon bone from impacts and brushing from the outside.
Shock-absorbing padding
Soft interior materials absorb a portion of the impact energy and reduce hard direct contact with skin and bone.
Close-fitting shape without unnecessary volume
The compact design provides targeted protection without weighing down the horse's leg or making it overly bulky.
Freedom of movement in the fetlock area
A suitable cut allows the joint the necessary space for bending and stretching during takeoff and landing.
Secure fit even during high-dynamic movements
The gaiter remains reliably in place during fast movements and does not twist on the leg when adjusted correctly.
Practical for daily training
Our show jumping boots are quick to put on, easy to check, and simple to remove after use.
What makes our show jumping boots protective
Our show jumping boots specifically cover the sensitive tendon area and protect against brushing, strikes, and direct contact. The integrated shock-absorbing protective mesh helps to absorb impact loads and distribute them over a larger surface area. In this way, the design combines reliable external protection with a flexible fit for dynamic movements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about jumping boots
What do our show jumping boots protect against?
They protect the front legs against external impacts, brushing, and direct contact, such as can occur during jump training or dynamic movements.
How should our jumping boots fit?
They should fit closely without constricting. The gaiter must not rotate during movement and must leave the fetlock joint and the flexion of the leg free.
Do show jumping boots protect the tendons during landing?
They protect the tendon area from external impacts, but cannot prevent the internal tensile forces that occur during foot strike or landing.
Can I also use our jumping boots for pole work?
Yes. Particularly with pole and gymnastic work, many rapid changes in movement can cause the legs to brush or strike against each other.
When are fetlock boots additionally useful?
Fetlock boots provide additional protection for the hind legs, particularly in the fetlock area, in cases where the hind legs may strike each other.
How do I care for our jumping boots?
After training, remove hair, sand, and dirt, especially from the inside, and regularly check the padding and fasteners. Further cleaning depends on the material of the respective model.
