Waldhausen Rubber Bell Boots with Synthetic Fur Rim
Description
Waldhausen Rubber Bell Boots are soft rubber overreach boots with a synthetic fur trim on the rim, shaped to sit over the hoof and give optimum protection to the heel bulbs and coronet band. They are best for horses and ponies that overreach or forge in the field, in the school or when travelling, and are fastened with a two-part Velcro closure for a good hold and easy fitting.
Sold as a pair, they are a straightforward everyday yard boot: rubber wipes clean after muddy turnout, and the fur rim sits against the pastern to help reduce rubbing during longer periods of wear. You can find more leg protection in our horse boots collection.

How to Use
- Pick out and brush off the hoof and pastern so no grit is trapped under the boot.
- Open both Velcro straps and slide the boot down over the hoof with the fur rim uppermost.
- Position the boot so the rear edge sits just above the heel bulbs and clear of the coronet band.
- Fasten the first Velcro strap snugly, then secure the second over the top for a firm hold.
- Check you can slide a finger under the rim — snug enough not to spin, loose enough not to pinch.
- Remove after use, brush off mud and check the pastern for any signs of rubbing.
FAQ
What are bell boots used for?
Bell boots, also called overreach boots, cover the heel and coronet band of the front hoof. They help protect the hoof when a horse strikes into it with a hind foot during turnout, schooling or travelling.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure around the widest part of the hoof and compare with the size chart rather than guessing by horse type. Hoof shape varies a lot between ponies, cobs and warmbloods, so measuring is the most reliable way to avoid an exchange.
What does the synthetic fur rim do?
The fur trim sits against the pastern where the boot meets the leg, helping to soften the edge and reduce rubbing when the boots are worn for longer periods.
Can these be worn for turnout?
Yes. The rubber construction and two-part Velcro fastening suit field turnout as well as schooling and lunging. Remove them daily, check the legs and clean off dried mud.
How do I clean them?
Rinse or wipe the rubber, brush dried mud from the fur rim and let them air dry away from direct heat. Pick hair and grit out of the Velcro so the fastening keeps its grip.
Are they sold as a pair?
Yes, these bell boots are supplied as a pair.
