Choosing and fitting overreach boots

Overreach boots are chosen by the size of the foot: they should cover the heels and coronet without touching the ground when the horse is standing still. Too long, they risk being trodden on and torn off; too short, they no longer protect the heels. Sizes generally range from pony to draught horse; if in doubt, measure around the pastern.

Closed or velcro

Closed overreach boots, such as the thick or thin Privilège models, stay on better and do not get lost in the field, but they have to be pulled on over the hoof. Turn them inside out, slip them over the foot, then turn them back the right way; soaking the rubber in hot water softens it. Velcro overreach boots, such as the T de T one, go on in seconds and suit horses that do not like having their feet handled.

For work or in the field

During work, and especially when jumping, overreach boots protect against strikes and reduce the risk of pulling off a shoe. In the field, they are used for a horse that often loses shoes. Check that they do not rub the pastern: a horse that wears them for long periods can get irritation.

To protect the legs, see also our tendon boots and fetlock boots.

Frequently asked questions about overreach boots

How do I know if an overreach boot is the right size?

With the horse standing on hard ground, the overreach boot covers the heels and stops just above the ground. You should be able to slide a finger between the boot and the pastern.

How do I put on a closed overreach boot?

Turn it inside out, slip it over the hoof, then turn it the right way out. If the rubber is too stiff, soak the boot in hot water for a few minutes.

Can overreach boots be left on in the field?

Yes, for a horse that often loses shoes. Check them every day: mud and sand can irritate the pastern.

Are overreach boots needed on the hind legs?

Rarely: overreach boots are mainly used on the front legs, which the hind legs strike.
