Tendon Boots

Horse Tendon Boots

Protect your horse’s legs with tendon boots designed for jumping, polework and everyday schooling. Our range focuses on breathable, shock‑absorbing designs that guard against knocks without overheating. Enjoy fast delivery, competitive prices and advice from a family‑run team of riders.

Why tendon boots?

Jumping and schooling increase the risk of brushing and strike injuries—especially on landing. Tendon boots add targeted protection for tendons, soft tissue and suspensories while allowing full range of motion.

Impact‑absorbing outer shells reduce strike injuries
Ventilated liners and perforated materials manage heat
Anatomical shaping supports the fetlock and cannon bone
Secure closures (Velcro, quick‑release, pin) for a reliable fit
Easy‑clean designs for quick turnaround between rides

Open‑front jump boot design

Many jump boots are open at the front to improve airflow and provide feedback if a pole is rubbed—helping horses stay careful. Brushing boots are fully enclosed and suit general riding protection.

Materials and linings

Choose from durable TPU/PVC shells and performance models with reinforced strike zones. Linings include neoprene for durability, air mesh for maximum breathability, and faux fur/sheepskin for sensitive skin.

Tendon vs fetlock boots

Front tendon boots are longer to protect the back of the foreleg where hind hooves can strike. Hind fetlock boots are shorter to allow freedom of movement. Pairing both gives complete front and hind protection.

Fit and fastening tips

Measure cannon bone circumference and length for the best fit. Boots should be snug with even contact—no gaps or pinching—and fasten on the outside.

Tendon Boots FAQs

When should I use tendon boots?

Use them for jumping, polework and whenever your horse is prone to interference during flatwork. They add targeted strike protection without restricting movement.

How do I get the right size?

Measure cannon bone circumference and length, then consult the brand’s guide. Aim for a snug fit with even contact and secure straps on the outside.

Which lining is best—neoprene, air mesh or faux fur?

Neoprene is supportive and hard‑wearing, air mesh maximises breathability for hot work, and faux fur/sheepskin helps prevent rubs on sensitive skin.

Are open‑front tendon boots competition legal?

They are widely used for show jumping, but some classes (e.g., young horse) have fastening/type restrictions. Always check current BS/FEI rules for your class.
