A medicine boot, whether it's for the hoof, the cannon bone or a hoof-leg combination, can hold medication against the foot or leg. Some circulate cold water to take down heat and swelling. A splint boot is a protective boot worn while working the horse either on the lounge line or under saddle. They come in several different kinds. The smaller variety wraps around the cannon bone and is usually secured by 3 velcro bands. The larger works the same way but the boot extends down to the coronary band and it not only supports the cannon bone but the pastern and some support for the flexor tendon that runs down the back of the leg bone.
