Shires Arma Neoprene Bell Boots - Anti-Spin Double Lock Shock Absorbing Horse Overreach Boots

Protect your horse’s sensitive heel bulbs and prevent costly lost shoes with the Shires Arma Neoprene Bell Boots, the ultimate defense for high-energy performance and turnout. Engineered for maximum shock absorption and a secure fit, these boots provide the peace of mind you need to focus on your ride while your horse moves with total confidence.

Expertly crafted from high-density, shock-absorbing neoprene, these bell boots are designed to withstand the rigorous demands of jumping, eventing, and daily turnout. The flexible yet robust outer shell features a bound lower edge and recessed stitching to resist wear and tear, while the soft, cushioned interior molds to the leg to prevent rubbing on even the most sensitive horses.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Shock-Absorbing Neoprene: High-impact material provides exceptional defense against overreach injuries, scuffs, and painful "heel grabs."
• Double-Lock Closures: Features a secure touch-close fastening system that ensures the boots stay firmly in place through mud, water, and vigorous activity.
• Anti-Spin Technology: Integrated internal nodules prevent the boot from rotating, ensuring the protection stays exactly where your horse needs it most.
• Soft Pastern Edge: A cushioned upper edge and soft interior lining prevent irritation and rubbing, making them ideal for long-term wear and sensitive skin.
• Discipline Versatility: Favored by Jumpers and Eventers for expressive movement, and widely used for turnout to prevent horses from stepping on and pulling off front shoes.
• Precision Sizing Rules: Available in Pony (up to 14.1hh), Cob (14.2hh–15.1hh), Full (15.2hh–16.2hh), and Extra Full (16.3hh+) to ensure a perfect fit for every horse.
• Durable Construction: Engineered with a bound lower edge and recessed stitching to withstand the rigors of daily use and resist fraying.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I have the right size and fit for my horse?
A: Follow our height-based guide: Pony (up to 14.1hh), Cob (14.2hh-15.1hh), Full (15.2hh-16.2hh), and Extra Full (16.3hh+). A proper fit allows one finger between the boot and the pastern, with the bottom edge nearly touching the ground to fully protect the heel bulbs without becoming a trip hazard.

Q: Will these boots stay secure during jumping or in muddy turnout?
A: Yes! Unlike single-strap alternatives, the Shires Arma boots utilize a double-lock touch-tape closure and anti-spin nodules. This technical design ensures the boots remain stable and secure even during high-energy movements or in heavy, muddy conditions.
