This material ensures that the boots are durable and able to withstand the wear and tear of daily use.

Overreach boots are made from either rubber or neoprene which is stiffer. The shape may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but the principle is all the same; the boot is there to protect the bulbs of the heel from injury.

Boots which are too large will almost certainly rub. The straps of the boot should be done up sufficiently so that you can only just fit your index finger between the collar of the boot and the horse’s pastern. These practical boots have a soft but strong outer shell, smooth neoprene lining and Lycra binding to prevent rubbing. In addition to their functional features, these fur-trimmed overreach boots also boast a super smart design. The elegant fur trim and stylish appearance make them a fashionable addition to my horse’s gear, allowing us to look our best during competitions and events.The Woof Wear Faux Sheep Pro Over Reach Boots are suitable for all aspects of ridden work, including competition use. They are both stylish and functional, offering superb protection against overreach injuries. The high-quality materials used in these boots, such as the 7mm neoprene base with an additional 3mm insert to protect the bulbs of the heel, showcase their commitment to durability and protection. Some event riders use them but trim the boot down so it is a shortened version; it is easier to try and do this with rubber rather than neoprene although Woof Wear sell a Kevlar overreach boot which is designed to be trimmed to create a customised fit. Some horses wear overreach boots all the time, this may be because they are shod with a bar shoe or perhaps because they are just very prone to that type of injury. You have the option of using different types of overreach boot for different occasions. A horse that is mooching around the field at home is probably at far less risk of an overreach than a horse going show jumping or cross-country. Most people go for ‘cheap and cheerful’ in the field as they can trashed or even lost in a large enough area or in deep muddy gateways. Use bright colours and then you can see from a distance if they are still in place on the horse.

After trying these boots on my horse, I am pleased to report that they not only look great but also provide excellent protection and flexibility. One of the standout features of these boots is the luxurious faux sheepskin collar. Not only does it add a touch of elegance to the boots, but it also serves a practical purpose by preventing the ingress of sand and grit. This is especially beneficial for sensitive horses, as it minimizes the risk of abrasion and irritation. The unique bell boot design of these Woof Wear overreach boots allows them to move freely around the pastern, providing no-rub protection for the bulbs of the heel. This design ensures that my horse remains comfortable and protected throughout our rides, without the boots causing any irritation or discomfort.

If you watch the horse walk, you can see that at a point within the step, the overreach boot will momentarily lower protecting the bulbs of the heel without reaching the ground. If the boot sits too low then the horse could tread on it when he moves and this creates the potential for stumbling or tripping and a far worse injury than an overreach. These boots provide superior protection for my horse’s heels while also offering exceptional comfort and durability. One of the standout features of these boots is their durability. Made from 6mm rubber, they’re built to last and will hold up well under regular use. The rubber-covered touch close fastenings are also a nice touch, giving the boots a sleek and professional appearance.
