It has been a while since I have blogged for HorseTail Legacy LLC and my American Quarter Horse Irish (Heza Holi Surgarman). He is now 19 years old and living his best life in Florida. We ride almost every day at reining facility called Love To Ride Ranch. With every new trainer you are exposed to new products that help both you and your horse. So, my focus in these blogs are to bring you information about the changes I have made over time as well as my fellow riders.
One product I have started using more is bell boots also known as over reach boots. As I have asked more of Irish in his turnarounds and stops it became clear that bell boots were needed. I started having front shoes get pulled off when stopping. I didn’t want to have that to happen often since he has a very thin hoof wall and pulling shoes breaks what little he has off. When he doesn’t have enough to nail too I have to go the glue on shoes which often increases my farrier bill. Irish is a good turnaround horse but even the best can catch themselves as the cross over so added protection is never a bad thing.
The product I like the best is Professional’s Choice Ballistic Overreach Bell Boots for Horses. I have tried two other brands and have found that this brand holds up the best. The construction is well thought out and the materials don’t cause any rubbing on my horse. The hook and loop holds well and they don’t rotate on the horse. I would buy this product again when the time comes
