The Classic Equine Leather Splint Boot is made to protect your horse's splint bones from impact and athletic maneuvers. Made out of high quality Hermann Oak leather, the outer shell is handmade with skirting leather, paired with a shock absorbing nitrate inner lining. This gives your horse maximum protection to the splint and sesamoid bones. The protective shield on the back of the boot guards against crossfires and over reach injuries. These boots are lightweight, soft, and durable.
