Horse boots by Showman. There are many types of horse boots, wraps and bandages available. These types of alternatives are suggested if the horse needs more protection and support. Listed are the most commonly applied boots or wraps.

• Polo wraps can be used for many riding tasks and disciplines. They protect the horse against minor scrapes and bruises and help prevent irritation.
• Shipping Boots or also commonly known as a shipping wrap. This type of horse boot is used on the lower legs of the horse to protect the animal while travelling or transporting. The boots protect vital parts of the leg such as the cannon bone, tendons, fetlock, pastern, coronet, and heels of the horse.

• Bell boots are a protective boot. They encircle the ankle of the horse and protect the back of the pastern and the heels. ell boots are also worn on occasion while shipping or transporting a horse if a bandages or oher boot used does not provide protection of the heel area or if a horse has a tendancy to pull on his front shoes by stepping on them.
