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'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 use SMB bell boots in pink. Love them and they look great. Only issue is riding in wet grass---they end up a soggy mess, probably not comfortable for the horse either, lol.
I use Professional's Choice Ballistic Overreach Bell Boots when I turn out my boy and when I ride. He overreaches and also goes crazy galloping in the turnout sometimes. :wink:
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 pro choice. Ballistic no turn bells on anybody I plan on doing gymkhana or team penning with. I have used cheaper pro choice knockoff's and they are falling apart. Posted via Mobile Device
I have about 4 pair of the ballistic no-turn bells, but if I ever need to use bell boots I still grab the old-school gum rubber pull-ons. They stay on and they are cheap.
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.
