What boots should your horse wear?

There are countless options for your horse's leg protection. Your horse's boots can even be polo wraps, and some horses don't need boots at all.

Do any boots support tendons/ligaments like suspensory support?

[@Proequinegrooms]

Most researchers doubt the ability of any boot to "support" tendons and ligaments. Forces can reach 2,000 lbs during canter, and no fabric could hold that! However, leg protection is wonderful to protect your horse from knocks, low branches, and their own hooves.

I'm sure they offer a bit of support. Of course, it probably won't be able to support a lot but it's better than not wearing boots. I'm adopting a horse within the next year and I found a horse I like that has a bowed tendon and I plan on making him wear polo wraps when he is out of the stall, just for a bit of extra support. I hope they still have him before I adopt him.

@@mobstercrow7515 Stalling horses is really not good for them. It should be a last resort in case of injury, not a normal way of life.

I know that. Horses should only be stalled at night time for safety reasons, and if you are waiting at an event or something. @@GilraenTook
