Stable & Turnout Boots for Horses
Stable boots and turnout boots are helpful for additional support and protection of horses’ legs, but most importantly, they keep mud and moisture away, preventing injuries and skin issues like irritation and infections. During winter or on rainy days, particularly when the field is muddy, horses’ legs are exposed to injuries, scuffs, mud fever, and arthritis symptoms - worsened by humidity. Turnout boots can be a good choice in helping with winter turnout problems.
Stable Boots & Bandages for Horses
Stable boots, as the name suggests, are designed for stabled horses and overnight use. They are typically a softer, less hard-wearing boot compared to turnout boots, to provide extra comfort for longer periods and allows your horse to rest and recover properly.
Stable boots or bandages provide good support to your horse’s suspensory ligaments while protecting them from skin irritation and some protection against injuries caused by horses that may act out while in the stable. Sometimes, when the weather is unfavourable, and your horse or pony is kept in for long periods, stable boots help with preventing swelling caused by standing for long periods, especially magnetic stable boots which are a good option for this. Certain stable boots materials can also help drying legs off.
Stable bandages do a similar thing to stable boots, just stable boots are probably a little quicker and easier to put on however, stable bandages are more versatile for adding things like cold packs, poultices or leg cooling products to the mix.
Turnout Boots for Horses
Horse turnout boots are excellent for keeping the legs clean and dry, especially during Winter turnout. They are easy to fit and save having to hose off legs each day when bringing your horse in.
Turnout boots are also great for protecting horses’ legs and shielding them from the elements while turned out, especially where the soil is muddy and/or wet. Turnout boots are sturdier and impact-resistant yet don’t represent discomfort for a horse when moving around in the field. Horses may want to run, kick, and buck, and it’s ok, but it’s important to keep their legs protected from injuries like overreaching and brushing, which can accidentally happen when playing. Some horses’ confirmation makes them prone to suffer self-inflicted wounds, which are sometimes worsened when wearing horseshoes.
Speaking of Horse Turnout Boots and their benefits when turning out in muddy fields, it’s important to be aware of mud fever, as not only can it initially cause discomfort and pain to your horse, but in some cases more severe lameness. It’s hard to notice initially with some horses, but when it does become noticeable, it could become a problem that requires some time to heal. Prevention is often better than cure, so along with turnout boots, also consider other mud fever prevention products from our Mud Fever range.
