Over reach boots are used to help protect the horse’s hooves when a hind foot may strike a front hoof. These Shires boots also address a comfort concern for horses with sensitive pasterns: their soft top cushions the area where a firmer boot edge could rub. The design brings pastern cushioning and shock absorption together in one boot.

What protection are these over reach boots designed to provide?

They absorb shocks to help protect against hoof damage and injuries caused by overstepping. The boot’s cushioning is intended for impact protection around the hoof, while the soft top focuses on the sensitive pastern area. This makes the construction relevant for riders looking for both protection from knocks and a softer contact edge.

• Designed for over reach protection.
• Shock absorption helps address impact around the hoof.
• The soft top adds cushioning at the pastern.

How does the soft top suit sensitive pasterns?

The soft top uses dense, flexible neoprene to create a cushioned edge against the pastern. Its flexible construction is intended to reduce the risk of boot rubs and chafing, making the top edge a key detail for horses sensitive to rubbing. The cushioning also provides a soft contact area where the boot meets the pastern.

• Neoprene forms the cushioned top.
• The edge is soft and flexible against the pastern.
• The design addresses rubbing and chafing.
