=Most protective boots, if they are the front boots, have velcro straps that connect the boot. The boots should have a part that the fetlock goes into, this piece will be a little area that looks like a bump. Place the fetlock in the bump and then wrap the boot around the leg and attach the velcro to the opposite side of the boot. They should be as tight as possible but you should be able to get a finger in them. =

What are bell boots do for horses?

Im not quite sure what youre asking, but... 1. What are bell boots? -a protective device, usually soft flexible rubber, worn loosely around the 'ankles' of a horse. There are different types, but they are usually pulled on (stretched over the hoof) or have velcro for ease of application. When put on correctly, they should be able to rotate (spin) around the leg and the edge should just touch the ground. 2. What do they do for horses? -bell boots are meant to protect the sensitive heel of a horses foot, which is not covered by hard durable hoof, rather just skin that can be easily cut. The bell boots cover the area and prevent injury from 'overreaching' from the hind feet, where the hind foot comes too far under and nicks the heel. Overreaching and nicking the front heel is more of a random event, though it can occur more often in some horses than others.
