Bell Boots 101: Horse Protection Meets Style

Bell boots aren’t just an accessory; they’re an essential piece of protective tack for many horses. Designed to wrap around the hooves, bell boots shield your horse’s heels and pasterns from overreaching injuries, pulled shoes, and knocks in the arena or turnout. At Equestroom, we believe your horse’s protection should never come at the cost of style. That’s why our bell boots combine premium materials, matchy set coordination, and rider-approved durability.

Why Horses Need Bell Boots

Prevent Overreach Injuries – Stops hind hooves from striking front heels during movement.

Protect Against Pulled Shoes – Keeps shoes from being pulled off by interference.

Everyday Safety – Shields your horse from knocks, scrapes, and playful turnout mishaps.

Peace of Mind – Extra insurance for riders across disciplines.

Whether you’re schooling, competing, or turning your horse out, bell boots are one of the simplest ways to add protection where it matters most.

When to Use Bell Boots

Not every horse needs bell boots every ride, but many riders use them as added protection in:

Jumping – Landings and quick turns increase overreach risk.

Dressage – Extended movements and lateral work can cause interference.

Cross-Country – Demanding terrain makes bell boots a welcome addition.

Turnout – For playful horses, bell boots help prevent pulled shoes in the field.

Styles of Bell Boots

Bell boots come in different designs, but Equestroom takes them to the next level:

Classic Pull-On – Durable, but not always practical for daily use.

Velcro Closure – Easy on and off.

Fur-Lined – Prevents rubbing and adds comfort.

Luxe Materials – Sparkle, suede, and metallic finishes for standout style.

All Equestroom bell boots feature double Velcro closures, designed to stay snug, resist twisting, and never fly off mid-ride. This detail ensures your horse stays comfortable and protected without sacrificing durability.

How to Choose the Right Bell Boots

When choosing bell boots for your horse, keep these tips in mind:

Fit Matters – They should sit snugly around the pastern without twisting or rubbing.  Loose fitting boots will rub and could be a safety issue.

Match Your Set – Coordinate with your saddle pad, boots, fly hat, and browband for the ultimate matchy look.

Bell boots are one of the simplest, most effective ways to keep your horse protected — but that doesn’t mean they have to be plain. With Equestroom’s exclusive colors, double Velcro durability, and matchy designs, you can safeguard your horse while expressing your unique style in the saddle.
