Hilason Neoprene Horse Splint Boots - Leg Protection Built to Perform
These Hilason neoprene horse splint boots deliver superior cannon bone and splint protection without restricting movement. Built from heavy neoprene with a suede wear patch along the strike zone, they absorb impact during schooling, trail riding, and competition - keeping your horse protected through every ride. The Loop-N-Lock three-strap fastening system, clearly visible in the image, ensures a secure, adjustable fit that stays in place even in wet or muddy conditions.
What are horse splint boots used for?
Horse splint boots protect the cannon bone and splint area on a horse's lower leg from impact, brush contact, and self-inflicted interference injuries. They are commonly used during trail riding, arena schooling, and competition to prevent soft tissue damage and bone bruising in horses that are active under saddle.
Are these Hilason splint boots good for trail riding?
Yes. These Hilason neoprene horse splint boots are designed for schooling, trail riding, and competition. The heavy neoprene shell and suede wear patch provide protection against brush, rocks, and uneven terrain commonly encountered on trail rides, while the Loop-N-Lock straps keep the boots secure over varying footing.
How do I clean neoprene horse splint boots?
Rinse neoprene horse splint boots with clean water after each use to remove dirt and sweat. For deeper cleaning, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. Allow the boots to air dry completely before storing - avoid direct heat sources, which can degrade neoprene over time.
How do I know if horse splint boots fit correctly?
A properly fitted splint boot should sit flush against the cannon bone without gaping or pinching. The top edge should sit below the knee, and the bottom should not extend past the fetlock joint. Straps should fasten snugly without pulling the boot out of shape. Measure your horse's cannon bone circumference and length and compare to the sizing guide for best fit.
What is the difference between splint boots and polo wraps?
Splint boots are pre-formed protective boots that slip on and fasten quickly, offering consistent impact protection with minimal application time. Polo wraps are bandage-style and require correct wrapping technique to avoid circulation issues. Splint boots like these Hilason neoprene boots are preferred for trail and schooling use where speed and reliability matter more than the customizable compression of wraps.
