Did you know that...
hind legs are among the parts of the body that are particularly frequently affected by transport injuries? During the journey, your horse must constantly react to turns, braking, and acceleration, and repeatedly reposition its limbs to do so. This is exactly why extensive protection covering the hock is particularly useful during horse transport.

FAQ
Why is good hind leg protection particularly important during transport?
The hind legs are particularly mobile when balancing, backing up, and unloading, making it easier for them to knock against the partition, trailer, or the opposite leg. Furthermore, studies on transport injuries show that the lower limbs are most frequently affected. In one study, 33.9% of recorded injuries occurred on the hind legs.
Why do rear shipping boots extend above the hock?
A short boot would mainly protect the cannon bone and fetlock area. The high cut additionally covers the protruding hock, which can come into contact with boundaries in the trailer when balancing or backing up.
What is the difference between front and rear shipping boots?
The boots are adapted to the different anatomy of the legs. At the back, the protection extends above the hock and is shaped longer accordingly. At the front, the cut is oriented toward the carpal joint. Therefore, front and rear boots should not be swapped.
What is the difference between shipping boots and shipping bandages?
Both serve to protect horse legs during transport. Shipping boots are already padded, can be quickly applied using Velcro fasteners, and, depending on the cut, can also cover the hoof and joints. Shipping bandages, on the other hand, must be wrapped correctly with even tension. Both shipping boots and suitable bandages are used as leg protection during horse transport.
Are shipping boots useful for short trips as well?
Yes. Injuries can occur not only during a long journey but also while loading, starting, braking, or unloading.
Why is the area around the hoof and coronary band additionally reinforced?
Hind hooves, in particular, are frequently repositioned while balancing. In doing so, they can knock against vehicle parts or their own hooves. The leather trim reinforces this high-stress lower area while protecting the material from rapid wear.
What should I do if my horse is not yet used to high shipping boots?
Acclimate your horse to the boots in peace before the first trip and let it take a few steps in them first. Some horses feel uncomfortable with high shipping boots at the beginning.

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.

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.
