Horse Transport Boots – safe on the road
During transport, your horse is often close to walls or a bar in the trailer or truck. To optimally protect the legs and tail against bumps and friction, special transport boots and tail protectors have been developed. With the right protection, you prevent wounds, damaged tail hairs and keep your horse clean and safe on the road.
Why protection during transport?
- Preventing injuries: especially young or restless horses can hit themselves during the ride.
- Hygiene: transport boots ensure that the legs stay clean, while a tail protector prevents hairs from breaking or getting dirty.
- Extra support: some models offer therapeutic benefits, such as improved blood circulation or reducing swelling.
Types of Transport Boots
Transport Boots Set
Usually supplied in sets of 4, so your horse is protected all around. Available in high models with a strong exterior and reinforced bottom. Choose a breathable lining, so the legs do not get too warm.
Bandages & liners
An alternative to standard transport boots. Ensure that the liner is thick enough and covers the hoof bulbs, and that the bandages are securely fastened.
Therapeutic stable boots
These multifunctional protectors can be used both in the stable and during transport. With innovative technologies such as ceramic fibers, magnets, or cooling/heating elements, they support blood circulation and recovery. Ideal for horses that have to stand still for a longer time or are prone to swelling. View our full range of therapeutic protectors here.
