Shires Overreach Equine Bell Boots - Black, XX-Full, 6mm Thick Rubber Shock Absorbing Hoof Protection

Stop worrying about costly shoe-pulls and painful heel strikes during turnout or high-intensity schooling. These Shires Overreach Bell Boots provide the ultimate impact-absorbing shield for your large-framed equine partner, ensuring they stay sound and performance-ready for every stride.

Engineered specifically for the power and scale of heavy horses, these boots are crafted from premium 6mm thick rubber that offers a robust "crumple zone" against overreaching. The flexible yet resilient construction is designed to withstand the rigors of mud, water, and daily wear while maintaining a sleek, professional look that complements any tack set.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 6mm Impact-Absorbing Rubber: Thick, heavy-duty gum rubber provides a superior shield to deflect strikes to the sensitive heel bulbs and coronary band.
• Tailored XX-Full Fit: Specifically engineered for horses 16.3hh and over with heavy bone, making them the ideal choice for Drafts, large Warmbloods, and heavy Cobs.
• Optimized Dimensions: Features a 4.3" vertical drop height for comprehensive heel coverage and a top opening circumference of 11.6" – 12.4" to prevent the boot from spinning.
• Double Touch-Close Fastenings: Reliable, rubber-covered dual-layer straps ensure a secure, "stay-put" fit even through deep mud and high-speed jumping.
• Wipe-Clean Durability: The smooth, flexible finish resists cracking and can be quickly hosed off, ensuring low-maintenance protection for daily use.
• Versatile Performance: Designed to prevent "shoe pulling" in the pasture while offering essential protection during lateral work, show jumping, and cross-country.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will these fit my large Warmblood or Draft cross without rubbing?
A: Yes! The XX-Full size is specifically designed for heavy-boned horses. With a 4.3" drop and a wide top circumference, they provide a snug fit that prevents shifting and friction, provided there is enough space to fit one or two fingers at the rim.

Q: Are these durable enough to prevent my horse from pulling shoes in the mud?
A: Absolutely. The combination of 6mm thick rubber and reinforced touch-close fastenings creates a robust barrier that deflects the hind hoof before it can catch the front shoe, saving you from unexpected farrier visits.
