At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a specialized collection of travel, therapeutic, and stable boots designed to provide maximum protection, support, and recovery —with the quality you expect from top equestrian brands.
Transport protectors – Safe on the road, from hoof to knee
Your horse's legs are particularly vulnerable during transport. Our transport boots offer durable, shock-absorbing protection from hoof to knee or hock, ensuring your horse travels safely—even on longer rides or with unsteady loads. They are high-cut for full leg coverage, thickly padded for extra shock absorption, quick to put on thanks to sturdy hook-and-loop closures, and breathable and comfortable, even in summer temperatures. Available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit any type of horse and trailer transport.
Stable protectors – Comfort and support during rest
Our stable boots are designed to protect and support the legs during rest periods, recovery, or transport. They help promote blood circulation , reduce swelling (stable legs) , and keep the legs dry and clean . Ideal for recovery after training or competition, for horses prone to thick legs, or as a replacement for traditional stable bandages. The soft inner lining prevents pressure points and chafing, while the sturdy outer layer ensures stability. Thanks to the hook-and -loop closures , they are easy to put on—even for daily use.
Therapeutic Protectors – Innovation for recovery and well-being
For horses requiring additional support, Maddelin offers a carefully selected range of therapeutic boots . These high-end products combine scientific innovation with practical riding experience and are ideal for tendon and joint recovery, improved circulation, muscle recovery, and injury prevention after intense training. You'll find magnetic boots that stimulate blood circulation, ceramic or infrared boots that relax muscles, cooling boots and cold therapy boots that reduce swelling, and heat boots that promote flexibility for work or when stiff. Each model in our collection has been rigorously tested and is used by professional and competitive riders who want to offer their horses the very best.
