Elite Protection That Breathes Under Pressure

When you're heading into the show ring or tackling a tough stadium course, the last thing you want to worry about is heat buildup or a missed rail causing a tendon injury. The Professional's Choice Open Tendon Boots are engineered to give your horse elite-level protection without sacrificing the "feel" they need to stay careful over fences. From our barn to yours, we know that tendon health is the foundation of a long career, and these boots are built for the long haul.

We have seen plenty of boots that offer protection but trap heat like an oven. These Professional's Choice boots solve that with a ventilated dual-hardness shell and a specialized cooling lining. They combine a rugged outer strike zone with an innovative air-cushion system, ensuring that impact energy is dissipated instantly so your horse can stay focused on the next stride.

Why Your Horse Will Love the Pro Performance Boots

• Advanced Impact Shielding with an integrated air-cushion system in the strike zone that absorbs shock and immediately returns to its original shape.
• Superior Temperature Control thanks to a ventilated dual-hardness TPU shell that allows heat to escape through integrated vents, preventing dangerous overheating.
• Moisture-Wicking Comfort provided by the 2XCool lining, which uses cooling minerals to pull heat away from the leg while remaining 100% neoprene-free.
• Anatomical Fit designed to sit securely on the leg without interfering with the knee, ensuring your horse has a full, natural range of motion during takeoff and landing.
• Encourages Careful Jumping via the open-front design, which allows the horse to feel a rail rub while still protecting the vulnerable tendons in the back.

The Perfect Match

Show jumpers and eventers looking for lightweight, high-impact tendon protection that keeps legs cool during intense competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if these boots fit my horse correctly?

For the Professional's Choice Open Tendon Boots, we recommend the "one finger" rule: you should be able to slide exactly one finger between the boot and the leg. This ensures they are snug enough to stay put during a jump without being restrictive.

Q: Can these boots be used for daily schooling?

Absolutely. While they are designed for the show ring, their durability makes them excellent for high-intensity daily training to protect the superficial digital flexor tendon from overreach injuries.

Q: What size horse do these boots typically fit?

These boots are designed as "one size fits most," generally fitting horses between 15.0 and 16.2 hands with a standard 9.5" height and 10.5" circumference.
