How do I know if the 9.5-inch universal size will fit my horse?

This height is designed to fit most average-sized horses (14.2 to 16.1 hands) on their front legs. To check your horse, measure from just below the knee to the top of the fetlock. If that distance is roughly 9 to 10 inches, these will provide the coverage you need without interfering with the joints.

Are these boots safe to leave on during turnout?

Yes! Because they are lightweight and made from breathable limestone neoprene, they are a favorite for turnout. They provide that extra layer of protection against self-interference strikes in the pasture without the heat buildup associated with heavy fleece or thick sports boots.

How do I clean these boots to maintain the antimicrobial benefits?

Maintenance is simple. Just hose them off after your ride to remove dirt and sweat, and hang them to air dry. The limestone neoprene doesn't absorb moisture like petroleum-based rubber, so they dry quickly and won't harbor the bacteria that leads to skin funk.

Product description

Every rider knows those days when you need reliable protection for schooling or turnout, but you don't want the heat or bulk of a heavy sports medicine boot. The Professional’s Choice Competitor Splint Boots (SPB152) are the barn staple we all reach for. These horse splint boots stand up to daily work without the extra weight, giving you peace of mind whether you're working on lateral movements or letting your horse blow off some steam in the pasture.

What sets these apart is the limestone-based neoprene. Unlike standard petroleum-based boots that can crack or crumble after a season, these offer a 4-way stretch that holds its shape. Because the material is naturally antimicrobial, it doesn't soak up sweat and bacteria—a huge win for horses with sensitive skin or those prone to irritation and rubs after a long workout.

Why they belong in your tack trunk:

Targeted Interference Protection: The reinforced inner splint patch is specifically placed to guard the cannon and splint bone against strikes during those "oops" moments in the arena or the field.
Breathable & Lightweight: Perfect for daily flatwork or light trail riding, these boots provide essential protection without the overheating issues often seen with thicker, more restrictive boots.
Stay-Put Security: Featuring a contoured design and two heavy-duty hook-and-loop closures, these boots won't slip or shift, ensuring a clean fit that doesn't interfere with your horse's natural stride.
Long-Lasting Durability: The limestone-based construction stays soft and flexible against the leg while resisting the drying and cracking that usually ends the life of cheaper boots.
Universal 9.5" Sizing: With a 9.5-inch height, these are designed as a versatile fit for most average-sized horses, offering a streamlined look for both English and Western riders.

Sold in pairs, these are a practical, durable solution for keeping your horse's legs safe during their everyday routine without any unnecessary fuss.
