FAQ
Q: How do I determine the correct size of bell boots for my horse?
A: Sizing typically depends on the horse's hoof size and shoeing. Measure the hoof diameter and consult the manufacturer's sizing chart. Generally, smaller horses or those with unshod hooves may wear smaller sizes, while larger horses or those with shoes may require larger sizes.
Q: Can these bell boots be worn in wet conditions?
A: Yes, neoprene is a water-resistant material and these boots are designed to withstand various weather conditions. However, it's recommended to remove and dry them after prolonged exposure to moisture to maintain their integrity and prevent skin irritation.
Q: How are no-turn bell boots different from traditional bell boots?
A: The 'no-turn' feature is designed with a specific shape or a slightly recessed bottom to prevent the boot from rotating around the hoof. Traditional bell boots can sometimes spin, leaving the protected area exposed during movement.
