Horse and Pony Tendon Boots – Optimal Protection

At DocHorse, you'll find a wide selection of tendon boots for horses and ponies from top brands like Kentucky, Lemieux, Eskadron, Veredus, Back on Track, and Busse. Whether you're looking for tendon boots with fur, special models for Shetlands, or white tendon boots for competitions, we always have a suitable solution.

Why Use Tendon Boots?

Tendon boots are designed to protect your horse's legs from brushing or striking injuries. During riding, lunging, working in the walker, or even in the pasture, your horse can hit itself, which can cause damage to the sensitive tendons. With the right tendon boots, you prevent injuries and ensure your horse can move safely and comfortably.

Types of Tendon Boots

There are various types of boots, tailored to use and discipline:

  • Tendon Boots: have a hard, pre-shaped shell that protects the back and sides of the leg. Commonly used in show jumping.
  • Leg Protectors: made of softer material and often close all around. Widely used in dressage.
  • Cross Country Boots: suitable for eventing. These boots offer all-around protection.
  • Technical Materials: ranging from basic neoprene to innovative, breathable, and shock-absorbing materials.
  • Linings: choice of neoprene, sheepskin (for extra comfort and less friction), or mesh for maximum ventilation.

Fitting Tendon Boots

When fitting, pay attention to:

  • The boot must fit snugly around the leg and fetlock.
  • There should be no gap around the fetlock, otherwise, sand can get in and cause chafing.
  • The boot should not be too high, so as not to restrict the flexion of the leg.

Popular Models

  • Tendon boots for Shetlands – narrow and small sizes specifically developed for ponies with fine legs.
  • Breathable tendon boots – such as the Compositi, fully breathable for optimal ventilation during training.
  • White tendon boots – popular for competitions and shows.
