Xl-Professional Choice Tack Ballistic Overreach Horse Bell Boot Chocolate

Our TB was forever pulling/mangling shoes and injuring himself during turnout (recently requiring stitches and four weeks stall rest!) so we needed something better to protect his front feet.These are just the thing! They have worked wonderfully and he has not been able to fiddle with them and get them off! They seem very durable and protect the entire back of the heel down to the ground in the back and do not swivel around. As others have noted, they do run small so make sure you order up. We needed XL for our rather slender legged 16hh TB.

I needed over reach boots and bought these.They fit well and stay in place. I ordered large size and had to return them as they were too small. I reordered 2xl and that was a fit. Not sure if they come up small or I don't know how big my horses feet are. Probably the latter. Any way they were changed with no problems.

I have used these on my thoroughbred since I got him 8 years ago. He is a perpetual shoe puller and these have done great. I can usually get 2 years of work out of them before I replace them (not that they even need it, I'm just picky.) I love that these don't turn while riding, he has to do something real funky to get one to turn during a ride. Super easy to clean & he's also never gotten any rubs from them and I use them every. single. ride.

These are my favorite bell boots and I have them in several colors to use for turnout and riding. They stay in place very well and are cut longer in the back, which provides added protection for my horse. They hold up great – I think they're the sturdiest bell boots I've ever used! When it comes to sizing, I've found that they run a little small. I use a size medium on my 15 hand German Riding Pony who has delicate feet. They're also really easy to clean – I just brush them off or rinse them off with the hose.

This is my second pair of these boots. I love that when they are placed they do not turn or rotate as my horse works. They have worn very well and wash well. My first pair has a lot of life in them yet, but I wanted an extra pair on hand for when I take them home to wash. Not sure how they could improve these boots.

These are excellent bell boots. Take a licking as turnout boots & come back for more. I ordered purple so I could find them when my horse finds a magical way to remove them in the field, and the color is lovely. Only reason I can't give these 5 stars is that I don't comprehend how the sizing could be so crazy!! I ordered an XL for my 15.1 hand horse with pretty average/small feet and they BARELY fit. These aren't an option for my 16.3 warmblood.

They seem really nice, but run quite small. I have a 16'2 hh Hanoverian mare, and just sent back the L (which were not just a little small, but waaaay too small,) and am getting the XXL now. Seem like great quality though, once the sizing is dialed in. They do tell you the explicit measurements in the description- I am accustomed to simply ordering size L in boots/wraps for my normal sized mare. Oops.

I ordered a size Large for my 15.2 1100 lb. "usually size Medium", Quarter Horse mare. You will want to size up, as suggested in previous reviews. These are well made, a nice fit and if you snug them up they do not turn. Good coverage across the heel and on the sides. Worked well for my mare who was pulling her shoes off because she needed the sides of her shoes set "out" for hoof re-growth.

I bought these boots about 6 months ago, and my horse wore them only for work in hand on the ground and some light riding (he is a baby, so nothing strenuous happening on the exercise front). He does not have shoes on, but still managed to completely destroy the binding at the bottom edge of the boot which started coming off about a month into using them. Just threw them away today. They have a weird fit that sits really high and barely covers the delicate bits at the front of the hoof, despite their little pad intended to stop them from turning round the foot they still turn all the time. They didn't rub and they are lovely and thick so when your horse has a habit of standing on one hoof with the other everything is well protected, just the boot won't last. I had an XXL for my warmblood that usually takes an XL in other brands, and I could barely close them. I am always going to be tempted to buy them again because they are so well padded and protective, but the fit and quality will probably stop me for this horse. The good thing about them being so high on the foot is that the horse cannot step in one boot with the other and trip like with rubber bell boots. A TB in my barn has these and they fit and stay the right way round just fine, so it must be my horse.

I am really disappointed with these. I've been using them for 6 weeks and they're falling apart. I only have 1 horse, and I ride him 3 or 4 times a week. He is also lunged in these and turned out in them for few minutes after the ride. But in less than 30 uses they are trashed. The Velcro still works but they are fraying everywhere, not just near the heel. The Pro Choice logo fell off of one boot. I'll probably go back to using the cheap ones I've had for years that still work and even look better at this point.
