Cross Country Boots

Lightweight, protective and engineered for the demands of eventing

Cross country boots—also known as eventing boots—are high‑performance brushing boots designed to protect your horse from bangs, scrapes and impact during the cross country phase. Our collection has been carefully selected for fit, stability, impact protection and performance, ensuring your horse stays protected without unnecessary weight or heat.

Modern XC boots use advanced materials that offer exceptional protection while remaining breathable, lightweight and highly resistant to mud and water. We deliberately avoid boots known to absorb water, ensuring your horse’s legs stay light and comfortable from start box to finish flags.

Veredus E‑Vento

The Italian‑made Veredus E‑Vento boots are a long‑standing favourite for their superb fit and feather‑light feel. The neoprene panels mould closely to the limb, offering stability without bulk. They remain one of the most recommended XC boots for riders who prioritise comfort and performance.

Zandona Carbon Air XC

Our most protective cross country boots are the Zandona Carbon Air XC, also crafted in Italy. These technical boots feature:

• Full‑coverage strike zones

• A gel lining for superior impact absorption

• A shorter hind‑boot design to help prevent rubbing and interference

Due to their popularity, we now stock the Carbon Air XC in brown as well as black.

Stubben Cross Country Boots

Stubben’s innovative XC boots, released in 2024, offer a completely fresh approach. Made from lightweight, shock‑absorbing foam that conforms beautifully to the leg, they prioritise freedom of movement without compromising protection. They have quickly become a rider favourite.

Kentucky Event Boots

The updated Kentucky Event Boots, the 3D Airflow, now feature a waterproof Solimbra outer, reduced weight and a more competitive price point. They offer reliable protection with a sleek, modern design.

Premier Equine & Equilibrium

For more economical options, Premier Equine Event Boots remain a tried‑and‑tested choice, offering dependable protection at a sensible price.

For breathable, lightweight alternatives, Equilibrium sits at a similar price point and is ideal for riders prioritising airflow and and lightweigh.

Fit & Stability

One of the biggest advantages of premium XC boots is their stability. Higher‑end designs from Kentucky, Stubben, and especially Veredus and Zandona are far less likely to slip or spin, even in deep ground or water complexes.
