Overreach Boots

Overreach boots (aka bell boots) are designed to help protect your horse from common overreach injuries to the bulb of the heel.

We have come a long way from your old fashioned, noisy rubber bell boot. Modern materials provide greater impact protection whilst remaining lightweight and comfortable. Safety is also improved over rubber bell boots as these materials are designed not to stretch, meaning that they will rip before tripping your horse.

If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable overreach boot for flatwork, we love the Veredus Safety Bell Light, available in black, white or brown. A gorgeous alternative is the Zandona Royal Bell which features a real Marino wool collar and a more practical black lining and leather-look outer.

Kentucky overreach boots are always popular; their leather bell boots are available in black or brown and with either a dark or light sheepskin collar. The Solimbra alternatives feature a hard-wearing, waterproof material outer. These can all be matched with Kentucky’s brushing boots.

Technical options include Kentucky’s cross country Air Tech Overreach Boot and their Heel Protection Overreach Boots which have a neat reinforced design providing greater heel protection for jumping, without the bulk of a traditional bell boot.

Our most protective overreach boot is the Zandona Carbon Air Heel which is incredibly strong but remains flexible. We also stock Zandona’s X-Bell which is a great multi-purpose overreach boot designed to match their Carbon Air cross country boots.
