Best Answer

Bell boots, splint boot, shipping boot or any other type of boot is pretty much used to protect the horses legs and tendons from injury. My mare kicks herself with her hind hooves when she gallops therefore I use over reach boots on her front legs to prevent herself from accidentally injuring herself.
