Tendon boots
Tendon boots are essential for protecting your horse's legs from bumps, knocks, or strain during training or competition. At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a carefully selected collection of tendon boots that combine maximum safety, comfort, and freedom of movement . Our models are designed for riders who want to offer their horse the best protection—with materials that are as functional as they are elegant.
Targeted protection for tendons and joints
A horse's tendons are particularly vulnerable during exercise. Properly fitting tendon boots prevent injuries from hitting the hind legs or excessive pressure.
Our models are anatomically shaped to:
- Fits perfectly on the leg , without shifting,
- Distribute pressure evenly ,
- To allow free movement of the pastern joint ,
- And to optimally protect tendons and joints when jumping or galloping.
Each model combines technical innovation with horse-friendly design , so your horse can move safely and comfortably.
High-quality materials for everyday use
Our tendon boots are made of strong, shock-absorbing materials such as TPU, neoprene, gel, or memory foam. The interior features soft padding that prevents friction and dampens pressure, while the exterior offers additional impact protection. Depending on your preference and use, you'll find at Maddelin:
- Classic tendon boots with Velcro closure ,
- Modern models with elastic clips or straps ,
- Ventilated tendon boots with air channels for optimal cooling,
- Leather finishes for a luxurious, timeless look.

Perfect fit and stability
Our protectors fit snugly around the leg and remain stable, even during intense exercise. Thanks to elastic straps and anatomical shapes, they stay in place without creating pressure points. The inner lining remains breathable and soft, even during prolonged training.
Maintenance and sustainability
Most tendon boots are washable or machine washable , making them easy to keep clean. They retain their shape and strength, even with daily use.
For leather finishes, we recommend our leather care products to keep the material supple and shiny.
