Davis Bell Boots

I really like these bell boots, because they offer good protection. They are affordable and stay in place. The velcro wears out LONG before there is anything wrong with the plastic part of them, but at that point, they are cheap enough to replace. Some very sensitive horses can get rubs from them though, as the rubber/plastic material is kind of hard...but then again, if it wasn't it wouldn't offer much protection...

Pros: cheap, durable

Cons: sensitive horses can get rubs

These cute boots come in a variety of fun colors and are simple to put on with the velcro clasps. However, I have noticed that they tend to be too tall for many hooves, and will rub if this is not attended to. To fix this, simply trim along the bottom with a sharp scissors. The boot should not touch the ground when properly fit (about 1/4" away), but should protect the heel bulbs and back of the hoof.

Pros: Easy to use and clean, effective

Cons: Tend to be long and might require trimming to fit the hoof
