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.
