For thin-skinned or sensitive horses, the friction of everyday training can turn standard hoof protection into a source of painful sores. Constant rotation from a bell boot against a delicate pastern can quickly wear away hair, leading to raw skin and painful abrasions. The Equi-Essentials® Composite Fleece Hook & Loop Ribbed Bell Boots solve this problem, pairing heavy-duty concussion defense with a luxurious synthetic fleece collar that acts as a plush cushion against the skin.The body of the boot is constructed from a high-grade composite rubber variant that offers excellent flexible resilience. It delivers complete $360^\circ$ coverage to shield the coronary band, heel bulbs, and horse's shoes from painful overreach strikes. The exterior features deep vertical ribs that dissipate shock by catching direct impacts from trailing hooves and dispersing the energy outward. At the neckline, a thick fleece roll acts as a protective gasket, effectively sealing out abrasive arena sand, grit, and dirt.Designed to make your grooming routine as efficient as possible, these boots discard the struggling mechanics of traditional pull-on styles. They feature a front-opening split secured by a wide, high-tensile hook-and-loop closure patch. This industrial-strength fastening strip makes daily application and removal instantaneous while holding the boot securely locked in place through deep footing, jumps, and flatwork.
