Bell Boots

A. Bell boots or over-reach boots should fit snugly (but not tightly) around the pastern and extend down over the entire heels to adequately protect the coronary bands and bulbs of the heels. They will not normally cover the entire front of the hoof. Bell boots with velcro closures are much easier to put on and take off than the slip-ons which must be pulled over the hoof. If you are unsure of the size you need, just ask your farrier. (S)he will be able to tell you what size bell boots your horse’s feet require.
