Horse Hoof Boots

Horse Hoof Boots

Rocky trails, wet pasture and long hauls all put wear on hooves, but horse hoof boots add a layer of protection for your horse. Tractor Supply offers boots made for riding, turnout and recovery, along with the wraps that go with them.

Hoof Support for Your Horse

A hoof boot is a removable shell that covers the bottom and sides of the hoof while the horse moves. Owners reach for one when a shoe comes off unexpectedly, when a horse is sore on gravel or when a vet recommends soaking a hoof. The boot comes off at the end of the job, which is a major part of the appeal.

Our stock features sizing options that run from small pony to full-grown hooves, which means horses of every size have a match. A boot that fits well stays in place through a ride, while a loose one shifts around and rubs. Picking a style mostly comes down to the job in front of you.

Closures and Fits

Fastening is what keeps a boot on, and there are three common approaches. Hook-and-loop closures press two strips together and adjust quickly, which helps when you're working alone in a stall. Strap closures pull through a slot and tighten down, and they tend to hold better in mud and wet footing. Buckles work much the way a belt does, with set holes that return the boot to the same fit each time, and they stand up well to rough use.

Therapy and Recovery Uses

General wellness hoof boots add a cushioned sole that softens impact on hard ground, which can keep a tender-footed horse more comfortable during turnout. Itch relief styles seal higher on the leg to block biting insects, cutting down on the stomping that wears a hoof wall. Infection support boots are built to hold a medicated soak against the sole, and most include a waterproof liner that keeps treatment off the bedding. Therapy styles usually run heavier than riding boots, and a horse that needs both jobs covered will do better with a separate pair for each.

Discover Horse Hoof Boots from Tractor Supply

A spare pair in the trailer can turn a lost shoe into a short delay instead of a long walk back. Leg wraps cover the area above the hoof, adding support and warmth after a hard day of Life Out Here. Explore our range of horse boots and leg wraps on our website or at your local Tractor Supply store.
