I have a pair or neoprene bell boots for Apollo but I am not happy with them...they do an alright job but I want to try something new. What brand/kind of bell boots do you prefere? What do you think of the SMB/bell boot combo?

I use Professionals Choice bell boots. They have held up really well. I always use bell boots when riding my shod mare, and when doing arena work.

I dont like the combo boots. Not sure why, just...dont.

I'm not a fan of combo boots or any of the SMB boots other then their splint boots.

I don't use bell boots flat schooling or just doing simple over fences work.

I use a pull over bell boot when I am schooling tight turns or out doing conditioning rides. Otherwise only cross country or when I am doing jumpers on a grass ring.





I am thinking of these but have been hearing/reading very iffy reviews for eventing.

I ALWAYS use bellboots when riding. I use Pro Equine on my one guy (the only brand that fits him). And I have lots of Classic Equines and Professional Choice bellboots I use on the others.

And no to the combo boots....not a fan of them at all.

I use the Professionals Choice quick wrap bell boots on my barrel mare because I didn't want the no turn knob pushing into the back of her heal bulbs. She literally sliced herself open in that area last summer in barb wire and I use the bell boots on her now to protect that scar. They do turn but it doesn't really matter because the neoprene overlaps in the velcro area so there's equal protection all the way around.
