i just got Dy.No-Turn bell boots from classic Equine and i was wondering if they would do the same job as professionals choice over reach boots?i got these because they were cheaper but still maked as well,im just wonder if the would do the same job?and could some one how the work in good detaile
Bell boots...?
The only time Bell boots are really needed is if your horse has a huge issues with over reaching.Usually 9 times out of ten it is a Farrier issue.Most Bell boots that don%26#039;t have a well known name for quality but are advertized as just as good of the name brand kind will do the job.Just because they are cheaper doesn%26#039;t always mean the wont work.Half the time they are better!!! With todays budgets buying cheaper with the best quality is all I can afford.You can usually tell by the looks and comparsion quality if they will work.
Reply:Bell Boots and the over reach boots really are the same thing..they at least serve the same purpose.
They are good to use for reiners/cowhorses because they are constantly moving their feet (very quickly at that) and there are a lot of opportunities for them to hit themselves as they, say, are doing a turnaround or cutting a cow.
Otherwise they are really only good for protecting the horse if they tend to overreach, like the previous poster said. And also as he pointed out, most of the time it can be corrected by the farrier. I had a gelding that would overreach sometimes and the farrier changed a few things and he no longer had the problem. (But I did reining with him so he wore bell boots anyway).
Reply:It seems like you already have some good explanations but just like to point out that bell boots are also handy for absorbing raps from jumps that can affect the growth of the hoof with the coronet band getting bruised. Also when lungeing or doing really anything that has speed and tight turns bell boots are not really budget breaking items but your horses hoofs might appreciate this safety tip as I%26#039;m pretty sure we%26#039;ve stepped on one of our feet with the other tripping over and a little protection would have helped yours so why not your horse, so I can%26#039;t agree that they are only for horses with over-reach problems. We like a little padding or protection when we do sports, why not your horse? Cause he doesn%26#039;t yell %26quot;OW! That Hurts!%26quot; Just let me leave you with this thought,
If someone asks you to do something that ends in you getting a few minor injuries how many times would you attempt it until you start to make a fuss and refuse? Your Horse is your Friend don%26#039;t let him injure himself for the sake of 15 dollars.
Reply:Bell Boots are usually for Jumping, to protect teh horse as they reach and land, as mnay jumpers and cross country horses are more prone to over reacing when on uneven ground. So that answers teh question, in a way. Over reaching boots are the same design, but are usually made to fit a horse for most styles of riding. As a horse walks, the hind hooves should step into the front hoove prints. Some horses over shoot the print (over reaching), some horses don%26#039;t get even close, and this can be a sign of lamness or injury. If a horse overreaches while you ride it, if it has shoes on you can often hear a click on the (trot), 1st and 2nd beat, canter on the 3rd beat, as the hind leg meets the front. Often it can be a farrier fault, however, some horses have a natural over reach, as some horses can have a naturaly shortened stride. To ride your horse out of an over reach, you can often try to lengthen the pace, over reaching doesn%26#039;t affect the horses conformation or performance, however, it can cause a shorter shoe life, as the hind hoof with clip the front shoe and the show will become twisted, after a while the shoe will become loose. It isn%26#039;t a severe problem, and if it is bothering you then i would suggest speaking to your farrier, and if it happens a few more times, go to a new farrier and see if it changes. It isn%26#039;t a real problem, and most horses are fine. The very few that over reach enough to cut their heels are few and far between.
Oh, when fitting the boots, make sure they cover the coronet band as this is the softest part of the lower leg, and an over reach hit here can cause a bruise. Pull them lower on the front legs at thr back, to further protect the heels from teh over reach.
Good Luck.

Different names same purpose, yes they will do the job.

Horse boots for back feet?
why do you need boot on horses back feet and how do you know if your horse overreaches because i a m not sure if i should use bell boots? And what type of bit is agressive but not always agressive? If u know what i mean. A western bit.
Horse boots for back feet?
Brushing boots are used for hind feet (actually, not the foot, but the fetlock joint) if the horse%26#039;s rear leg action has the fetlocks %26quot;brushing%26quot;, horses doing hard work may start brushing as they get tired, other horses with moderate conformation or bad trimming can do it most of the time. Unless... if you%26#039;re asking about tendon boots, which are for the canon bone and support the tendons for horses in high stress work or during therapy for mild tendon injuries. Or there are pads for the back of the pastern/fetlock for horses trained to do sliding stops.
Bell boots on the front prevent bulb and pastern injury from overreach. This is where the hind hoof is clipping the back of the front hoof. If the horse doesn%26#039;t overreach, no need to buy these things. Have a good farrier watch your horse move, if he is overreaching, the majority of the time this can be corrected with the right trim angle and rollover point.
As for bits, any bit in the hands of a heavy handed person can be aggressive. %26quot;Agressive%26quot; bits should only be used by experienced riders, and most of the time they don%26#039;t even use the reins, they use their seat....but I think I know what you%26#039;re asking. Not sure about western bits, but in English bits a pelham is reasonably aggressive, but if you have nice light hands and a good seat on a well trained horse, it will acheive the extra 1% you are looking for. A western equivalent would - I guess - be a short shanked reining bit, but I%26#039;ll leave that to western riders to clear that one up. However, if your horse works well in a snaffle, why change, and if it doesn%26#039;t work well in a snaffle, maybe some re-education is in order - if you don%26#039;t know how to go about this, get a tutor/instructor.
Reply:I%26#039;m more experienced with racing horses, so i dunno if you would use the same things for riding...
What do you mean overreach?? Is your horse scalping?? Like back n front feet connecting? Then you%26#039;ll need scalpers, they go on like bell boots but they dont move around, and they protect up the front of the pastern as well.
However, if he%26#039;s hitting is ankle of the opposite foot, splint boots may be necessary. But if he%26#039;s just hitting his hooves together, bell boots would be best.
Reply:the thing i know for boots on the back feet is for english, and thats for jumping. what kind of riding do you do? maybe we can see if you need them.
Reply:you use back boots to protect and suppor their tendons and ligaments. another kind of a back boot is a skid boot to protect the fetlock from beig rubbed or chapped when their fetlock touches, rubs, or skids on the grond, mostly used for gamers and barrel racers. you can tell if your horse overreaches if the bulb or heel of their forefeet is bloody or tender/ sore. i use overreach boots even though my horse doesn%26#039;t overreach just as a precaution. i game, so there is always the chance of them clipping themselves. a bit that is agressive but not too aggressive depends on how you use it. a twisted wire that is really thin is pretty agressive, but only is you use it on their mouth often. i think that hackamores can be pretty harsh too if you%26#039;re on their face a lot and/ or the chain is too tight. i think the same with bits with shanks. the longer it is, the harsher it can be. only if you are on their face a lot. same wtih bits with huge ports.
Reply:For bits, you need to just start trying em until you find something that works. If you%26#039;re naturally tight on the reins I wouldn%26#039;t reccommend anything not hinged in the middle cause they press on the roof of the mouth and can be really harsh, even a curb. I love snaffles, they%26#039;re amazing. My favorite is the slow-twist, it%26#039;s very universal. Kimberwicks are really good too if you need the leverage.
Reply:mostly you just need boots on your horses hind legs if you do reining or something and do sliding stops , or jumping and you are concerned about your horse hitting his legs on the rails. you%26#039;ll know if your horse overreaches if his back hooves hit his front while you%26#039;re trotting or cantering. You%26#039;ll most likely be able to hear the sound. If your horse does overreach then use neoprene bell boots because those work the best. Curb bits are most used in western riding, and i guess that they%26#039;d only be agressive if you kept contact on them. i dont really know what you mean.
Reply:To tell if your horse over reaches, ask someone to watch you ride. For example, let%26#039;s just say you barrel race your horse. The person should watch you walk, trot, canter, and trot, lope and gallop the barrel pattern. Any speed events like that, it%26#039;s a great idea to use bell boots because of the tight turns at high speed make it easier for a horse to over reach.
I use hind boots on my barrel horse because he get%26#039;s real low in his turns, and sometimes, especially if the ground is deep, he drags his back legs on the ground when he turns. When horse%26#039;s stop so quickly, or in my case slow down and turn so quickly, they increase the risk of damaging any legs, but especially the back since they are supposed to (or should) get on their hind end. There are many other reasons for hind boots too, but that is why I personally use them, along with my horse%26#039;s history. (He%26#039;s had some ligament problems in his back legs.)
Any twisted snaffle, particularly a slow twist, can be %26#039;aggresive%26#039; at times, but with soft hands isn%26#039;t.
Some curb bits could work for you too.
I would talk to a trainer or someone who knows your horse better about bits.
Reply:i put bell boots on the hind feet, of my horse, beacuse he clomps all over himself, with the opposing hind foot. if you see evidence of cuts on the inside of the hind hooves, he needs bell boots (behind) when turned out or ridden. you can not leave them on all the time because they will injure the coronet band. over reaching is differnet and requires bell boots on the front foot because the hind reaches too far forward, and clips the bulbs of the front feet. to prevent this (not just treat it) blunt off the front toes, and rock or roll the fron t shoes. this will allow the front foot to break over quicker thereby getting it out of the way before the hind foot gauges it. you also need to blunt the hind feet toes, and if he is wearing shoes behind, set them back.

Football Boots Blades vs Studs?
just wondered what people thought of the bladed footy boots, i played in studs for years without any problems. then i brought a pair of adidas predator boots with blades, within half a season id snapped my cruitiat ligament. i beleive it was down to the blades they dont allow any movement in the ground so the joint takes the full forse, where as studs tear threw the ground so your leg is less rigid. anyone else got any opinions or storys. cheers
Football Boots Blades vs Studs?
I have used both and I agree with you, studs are better.
Reply:I try to only every play in studs, or moulds if ground is hard. I don%26#039;t see any benefit of blades and only see people slipping in them.
Also like you when the first predator blades came out i played with someone who dislocated their knee in them.. only remember it because he was raving about his new boots!
Reply:A lot of places/teams (including the Manchester United training ground) no longer allow blades because they are so dangerous.
Reply:studs all day long. however the boots i wear have slighlty elongated studs. but i ince bought a pair of boots with blades and i wore them for two games before getting rid... these are the boots i wear and i think they are the best boots i have ever worn... i have bought them every year. (well the yearly upgrade) and have never has a blister, they are super comfortable and very light weight.. but only good if you are quick.... if you are a more aggressive player dont get em.. they are thin.....
but sorry back to your questions.... STUDS ALWAYS

Reply:I prefer studs, like you i also Damaged my Knee while playing in blades once I think it was my cartlidge or something but i didn%26#039;t really get over it until around 3 months . It%26#039;s all down to turning on the six-pence. For Blades if your foot it already dug into the ground and you try to turn fast. Well you get what i mean. Studs allow you to turn more easy as when they are dug into the ground you can turn faster and easier, without any pain. ;)
