during dressage movements such as travers, renvers, or lateral movements, the legs are sometimes guided very close to one another? The more intense the collection and lateral movement, the more important targeted protection against brushing can become. The fur padding provides additional protection where the brushing boot lies directly against the horse's leg.

What are bell boots and dressage boots used for?

Bell boots primarily protect the bulbs of the heel, the coronet band, and the rear area of the front hoof from injuries caused by overreaching, and they help protect horseshoes. Dressage boots protect the horse's leg during training from brushing, light knocks, and interference by specifically padding sensitive areas.

How can I tell if my horse is prone to overreaching, and how should bell boots fit?

Typical signs include small injuries or chafing on the bulbs of the heel, damage to the rear hoof area, or frequently lost front shoes. Bell boots should completely cover the bulb area and reach low enough without hindering the horse when it lands. They must not fit too tightly at the top edge or cause constant chafing in the pastern area.

How should dressage boots fit properly, and how tightly should the Velcro fasteners be closed?

Dressage boots should lie evenly against the horse's leg without cutting in or twisting. The ergonomic shape follows the contour of the leg, and the fasteners should be adjusted evenly on both sides. The Velcro fasteners must be secure, but they should not be fastened so tightly that they create pressure points.

Can a bell boot prevent my horse from pulling off a horseshoe?

It can significantly reduce the risk by covering the rear area of the front hoof and the horseshoe. However, pulling off a shoe cannot be completely prevented, as movement patterns, ground conditions, and the quality of the farriery also play a role.

Are bell boots and dressage boots allowed at competitions?

Bell boots and dressage boots are considered leg protection and can be used depending on the discipline and the specific class. Permissibility is governed by the current FN equipment catalog and the respective competition regulations, which are updated annually.
