Fetlock boots protect your horse's hind legs from being hit and overloaded during jumping or intensive training. At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a carefully selected collection of fetlock boots that offer the perfect balance of safety, fit, and freedom of movement . Each boot is designed to efficiently absorb shock while still allowing the horse's natural movement.

Targeted protection with an anatomical fit

The fetlock is one of the horse's most vulnerable joints, especially in disciplines like jumping, eventing, or intensive dressage training . Our fetlock boots are anatomically shaped to fit perfectly around the hind leg, providing optimal protection without pinching or slipping.

They distribute pressure evenly and absorb impacts by:

• Shock absorbing materials such as TPU, gel or neoprene,
• Reinforced zones on the inside,
• And soft linings that prevent irritation and friction.

Thanks to their ergonomic shape, they remain stable, even during powerful jumps or quick turns.

High-quality materials and reliable closures

Ruitersport Maddelin fetlock boots are made of durable, lightweight materials that guarantee long life. The inside is lined with breathable neoprene or faux fur , which provides comfort and moisture management.
Strong hook-and-loop or elastic closures with sturdy buttons keep the protectors securely in place — even during heavy use.
