Bell boots
Bell boots are essential for protecting your horse's hoof balls and coronet band. At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a wide selection of bell boots that combine safety, comfort, and style . Our models are carefully selected for everyday use, jumping, eventing, and training , with a focus on a perfect fit and durable materials.
Reliable protection against tapping
While riding—and especially while jumping—horses can touch their front hooves with their hind hooves. Bell boots , also called overreach boots , protect against this impact and prevent injuries to the hoof balls or hoof wall .
Our models offer:
- Shock absorbing protection against taps,
- Soft linings that prevent friction,
- Sturdy closures for a stable position,
- And lightweight materials that do not hinder the horse.
This way your horse remains optimally protected, both during training and in the competition ring.
High-quality materials for daily and professional use
At Maddelin you will find jumping boots in different designs, each with their own advantages:
- Rubber jumping boots – classic, strong and easy to maintain.
- Neoprene jumping boots – soft, flexible and shock absorbing.
- Leather jumping boots – luxurious look with a durable finish.
- Bell boots with fur or faux fur trim – extra comfort for sensitive horses.
- Technical models – with anatomical fit and double closure for extra stability.
- All materials have been carefully selected for strength, water resistance and wearing comfort .
Perfect fit and ease of use
A good fit is essential to prevent chafing or twisting. Our bell boots are designed to fit snugly around the coronary band without pinching. They are easy to put on thanks to strong hook-and-loop closures or elasticated edges , and stay in place, even during intense exercise or in wet conditions.
For every discipline and every type of horse
Whether you're a show jumper, eventer, or dressage rider , Maddelin offers jumping boots for every use:
- Training and loose riding ,
- Competition use ,
- Outdoor rides and cross-country ,
- Daily work with sensitive horses .
Our collection combines technical innovation with elegant designs , available in a variety of colours and finishes so you can match them with your tendon boots or bandages .
Maintenance and sustainability
Most bell boots are dishwasher-safe or machine washable and retain their shape and softness, even with frequent use. Leather bell boots require only a little extra care—a coat of leather grease or oil from our care collection will keep them supple and looking good.
Personal advice
Not every horse has the same movement or leg shape. Our team is happy to help you choose the right size, height, and design , so your horse gets optimal protection without restricting its movement. A well-chosen jumping boot not only prevents injury but also promotes freedom and confidence with every jump.
