Product Information
Full details
The Mackey Ribbed Bell Boots are designed for horse owners seeking reliable protection for their horse's heels and coronet band during daily riding or turnout. These boots feature a durable ribbed construction and a user-friendly double touch tape closure, making them an excellent choice for preventing injuries caused by accidental over-reaching. While they provide robust protection, users should monitor the fit regularly to ensure the boots do not rub or accumulate debris during extended turnout sessions.

FAQs
Can these boots be used for turnout?
Yes, they are suitable for turnout, but it is recommended to check them daily to ensure no debris has accumulated inside.
How do I know if the Cob size is right for my horse?
Cob size is generally intended for smaller horses or ponies with a more refined bone structure compared to Full or Warmblood sizes.
Are these boots waterproof?
The material is designed to handle damp conditions and mud effectively, though they are not fully sealed against submersion.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and keep the touch tapes closed to prevent lint from sticking to them.
Can these be machine washed?
Hand washing with a damp cloth or soft brush is recommended to preserve the integrity of the touch tape and the ribbed material.
Troubleshooting
Boots keep spinning during work
Ensure the touch tape is pulled tight enough and that the boot is the correct size for the horse's hoof circumference.
Touch tape is not sticking securely
Check the hook-and-loop surface for trapped debris, hay, or hair. Use a stiff brush or a grooming pick to clean the fibers.
Boots causing rubbing on the pastern
Verify that the boots are not too tight and that there is no grit trapped between the boot and the skin; consider using a pastern wrap if sensitive.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the boots, open both touch tape straps and wrap the boot around the horse's pastern, ensuring the base of the boot sits comfortably over the hoof bulb. Secure the touch tapes firmly, making sure the overlap is aligned to prevent dirt buildup.
Compatibility: These boots are designed for standard hoof shapes; the Cob size is specifically sized for horses with smaller or more refined hoof structures.
Care: To clean, brush off dried mud with a stiff duster. For deeper cleaning, rinse with cool water and mild soap. Ensure the touch tape hook-and-loop material is free of hair and hay to maintain a strong, secure bond.
