Did you know that...
the front legs of a standing horse carry an average of around 58% of its body weight? During a trailer ride, your horse must also constantly react to accelerating, braking, and cornering, and constantly re-balance itself. The front legs play a particularly important role in this, which is why extensive protection from the hoof up over the joint is especially useful during transport.

FAQ
Why do the shipping boots extend over the carpal joint?
During transport, not only the cannon bone and fetlock area but also the carpal joint can come into contact with the partition, the trailer, or the horse's own legs. The high cut therefore protects a significantly larger area of the front leg than a standard boot.
What is the difference between front and rear shipping boots?
The shapes are adapted to the different anatomy of the front and hind legs. Front shipping boots are specifically designed to protect the hoof, fetlock, cannon bone, and carpal joint (knee). Rear models are longer and tailored accordingly to the hock and hind leg.
Why is the hoof area additionally reinforced with leather?
The lower area is exposed to particularly high stress during loading and transit. Pawing, balancing, or bumping legs can quickly cause friction in this area. The leather trim reinforces this heavily stressed zone.
What is the difference between shipping boots and regular boots?
Regular boots worn while riding primarily protect specific areas of the cannon bone and tendons. Shipping boots, on the other hand, are cut significantly higher and are more heavily padded to protect a large area of the horse's leg from impacts, scrapes, and self-inflicted injuries during loading and transit.
Why are wide Velcro straps useful for transport?
Wide straps distribute the hold over a larger surface area and allow for an even fit on the front leg. This keeps the boot more stable in its position, even with the constant corrective movements made during the ride.
Does my horse need shipping boots for short trips too?
Injuries can occur even on short distances during loading, braking, cornering, or unloading. The duration of the trip is therefore not the only deciding factor. Unfamiliar or hectic movements can occur, especially when getting in and out of the trailer.
Are high shipping boots initially unfamiliar to horses?
Yes, some horses react to being fitted with them for the first time by taking significantly higher or unusual steps because the boots extend over the joints. It is therefore advisable to get the horse used to the shipping boots in a calm environment before the first trip.
Security Information

Description
Our transport leg guards are the perfect solution to ensure that your beloved four-legged companion is optimally protected during transportation. These leg guards have been carefully designed to provide the highest level of comfort and safety, both for the horse and the rider or transporter. In this product description, we will illuminate the outstanding features and benefits of these leg guards in detail.
Features and Specialties:
-
Optimal Adjustment with Velcro Closure: An outstanding feature of our transport leg guards is the Velcro closure. This allows for optimal adjustment to the horse's leg, which is crucial to prevent pressure points and friction during transportation. Thanks to specially designed tabs, the Velcro closure can be quickly and easily opened and closed, making the process of putting on and removing the leg guards extremely convenient.
-
High-Quality, Durable Material: The quality of the material is a key factor in the longevity and effectiveness of transport leg guards. Our leg guards are made from waterproof, breathable, durable, and robust material. These properties not only ensure protection against moisture but also provide the necessary air circulation to prevent overheating. Even in adverse conditions, these leg guards maintain their quality and integrity.
-
Reinforcement with Leather in the Hoof and Sole Area: The rigors of transportation can strain the sensitive areas of the horse's leg, especially the hoof and sole area. For this reason, our transport leg guards are additionally reinforced with leather in the hoof and sole area. This reinforcement offers increased abrasion resistance and protects against potential injuries or damage.
-
Reflective Stripes for Maximum Visibility: The safety of the horse and rider is of the utmost importance. Our transport leg guards are equipped with reflective stripes that ensure you are well-visible even in low-light conditions. This is particularly important when transportation occurs in the early morning or late evening hours or on heavily trafficked roads.
-
Protection of Fur and Moisture Regulation: We understand how crucial the well-being of the horse is during transportation. Therefore, we have added soft fleece to the inside of the leg guards. This fleece protects the fur from breaking and prevents damage from friction. Furthermore, it has the ability to efficiently wick moisture away, meaning the horse stays dry and comfortable.
-
Non-Slip Fit: Another advantage of the fleece lining is its non-slip property. It ensures that the transport leg guards stay securely in place during transportation and do not slip. This is important to prevent pressure points and provide the horse with a comfortable wearing experience.
Did you know that... horses tend to bump or injure their legs during transportation in trailers or transporters,
especially when they move restlessly or travel on uneven roads? Transport leg guards provide physical protection that
can help protect the horse from bruises, abrasions, or worse.

This is especially important when transport occurs in the early morning or late evening hours or on heavily traveled roads. The well-being of the horse during transport is of great importance. Therefore, we have added a soft fleece lining to the inside of the leg wraps. This fleece protects the horse's coat from breaking and prevents it from being damaged by friction. Additionally, it has the ability to efficiently wick moisture outward, meaning the horse stays dry and comfortable. The fleece lining also provides a non-slip fit, ensuring that the transport leg wraps stay securely in place during transport and do not slip. This is important to prevent pressure points and provide a comfortable wearing experience for the horse. It is worth noting that horses during transport in trailers or transporters tend to bump their legs or get injured, especially when they move restlessly or travel on uneven roads. Transport leg wraps offer physical protection that can prevent the horse from bruises, abrasions, or even more serious injuries. Our transport leg wraps are the optimal choice to ensure the well-being of your horse during transport.
