Choosing the Right Boots and Wraps for Your Horse

When it comes to choosing the best horse boots, there are several factors that you should consider:
    • Purpose: The first thing you need to consider is the purpose of the boots. Are you looking for boots to protect your horse's legs during turnout or riding? Or are you looking for boots to provide support or address a specific issue, such as tendonitis or arthritis?
    • Fit: Proper fit is essential when it comes to horse boots. Ill-fitting boots can cause discomfort, chafing, and even injury. Make sure you measure your horse's legs carefully and choose boots that fit snugly but not too tightly.
    • Material: Horse boots come in a variety of materials, including neoprene, leather, and synthetic materials. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you should choose the material that best suits your horse's needs.
    • Breathability: Your horse's legs need to breathe, so it's important to choose boots that allow air to circulate. Boots that are too hot and sweaty can cause irritation and infection.
    • Durability: Horse boots are an investment, so you want to choose boots that are durable and will last. Look for boots with reinforced stitching and sturdy materials.
    • Price: The price of horse boots can vary widely. While you don't necessarily need to spend a lot of money on boots, you should be prepared to pay for quality. Remember that investing in high-quality boots can save you money in the long run by preventing injuries and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Overall, the best horse boots will depend on your specific needs and the needs of your horse. It's a good idea to consult with a knowledgeable trainer or veterinarian for advice on which boots will work best for you.

Back on Track horse boots are a type of therapeutic boot made with Welltex®, designed to improve circulation and provide support and relief for horses with muscle, joint or tendon problems. Welltex® is a proprietary material that contains a unique blend of minerals that are crushed into a fine powder and fused into the fabric. The minerals capture body energy and reflect it back to increase blood circulation which can help during recovery from injuries or sore muscles. Back on Track leg protection solutions come in different styles of wraps and boots. They can be used to prevent injuries during exercise or as a rehabilitation tool while recovering from injuries.

Some of the benefits of using Back on Track horse boots include:

    • Improved circulation: The minerals in the Welltex® fabric help to improve blood circulation, which can reduce inflammation and promote healing.
    • Reduced swelling: Back on Track boots can help to reduce swelling in legs and joints, making your horse more comfortable.
    • Faster recovery: The increased blood circulation and reduced inflammation can help your horse recover more quickly from injuries or between exercise.
    • Easy to use: Back on Track horse boots are easy to use with options that can be worn during turnout or while riding.

It's important to note that while Back on Track horse boots can be effective in promoting healing and reducing inflammation, they are not a substitute for proper veterinary care. It's always best to consult with your veterinarian if your horse develops soundness issues or injury.
