Horse transport boots – safely on the road
During transport, your horse often stands close to walls or a bar in the trailer or horsebox. Special transport boots and tail guards have been developed to optimally protect the legs and tail from bumps and friction. 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 journey.
- Hygiene: transport boots ensure that the legs stay clean, while a tail guard prevents hairs from breaking off or getting dirty.
- Extra support: some models offer therapeutic benefits, such as improved 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 outer shell and reinforced bottom. Opt for a breathable lining to prevent the legs from getting too hot.
Bandages & underpads
An alternative to standard transport boots. Ensure that the underpad is thick enough to cover the pasterns and that the bandages are securely fastened.
Therapeutic stable boots
These multifunctional protectors can be used in the stable as well as during transport. With innovative technologies such as ceramic fibers, magnets, or cooling/heating elements, they support circulation and recovery. Ideal for horses that need to stand still for a long time or are prone to swelling. View our full range of therapeutic protectors here.
Tail guards & tail bags
Protect the tail bone and tail hairs from rubbing and breaking off. Especially useful in horseboxes, where horses often stand with their tails against the wall. Available with or without a tail bag, depending on how much protection and neatness you desire. View all tail guards here.
Tips for use
- Check that the protectors fit well and cannot slip down.
- Never fasten a tail guard too tightly to avoid pinching.
- Gradually introduce the use of therapeutic models.
- Always ensure a firm but correct wrap for bandages.
