Description
Why compromise on leg protection when you can have a boot that has it all?
There are many factors to weigh up when choosing a boot, such as breathability, exibility, weight, and protection – BUT what if you could have all of those for your horse?
Introducing the NEW Tri-Zone Impact Sports Boots – the ultimate in leg protection.
We’ve taken the original Impact Sports Boot and redesigned them using the latest research and technology, added a choice of colours, plus a range of sizes, so this all round boot can be used by anyone, for anything.
Superior, tested protective materials make them perfect for high impact sports such as cross-country, polo, and racing; whilst their comfort, breathability, and easy to wash and dry design mean that they are equally suited for everyday riding.
The Ultimate Boot Test
Independently Tested in a Safety Laboratory – read more on the testing we do here
WEIGHT
Tested to be lightweight, even when wet! Heavy boots increase the effort the horse must make and increase the risk of injury caused by the early onset of fatigue
PROTECTION
Tested for protection against concussion and penetration, applying the same force as if the horse was to hit a solid fence or obstacle or strike into itself.
BREATHABILITY
Tested for breathability to ensure heat is allowed to escape from the boot, as research indicates that high temperatures may result in damage to tendons.
FLEXIBILITY
Tested for flexibility to reduce restriction of the horses’ movement. Stiff or tight boots can affect performance due to altering stride characteristics and joint movement.

I have an ex-race horse I am re-training and, sometimes finding a boot to fit can be a struggle.
I have been using a medium Impact sports Boot front and hind, daily for 2 months and they fit perfectly.I have used the boots for hacking, schooling and show jumping. They are incredibly light, with lots of protection; they do exactly what they are designed for.Even when the boots were wet, they were never heavy on Oscar’s legs and never caused any rubbing; his legs were always cool when I took the boots of. To put the boots to the ultimate test, I turned Oscar out in the field, in February, for 7 hours. I put the Impact Sports Boots on one of his front and hind legs and his old boots, another make, on his other legs.
When I brought Oscar in from the field, I was amazed to see that the Impact Sports Boots had not moved or slipped on his leg, where the other boots had moved and slipped down.
I would highly recommend these boots to anyone looking for a lightweight boot, with lots of protection.

I’m really impressed with the new Tri-Zone Impact Sports Boots worn by both my girls who are different shapes they performed fantastic on both. Never moved, fitted great & provided the protection we needed on course. They are like feathers to hold in your hand- super lightweight which also means they dry very very quickly ! Looking forward to getting them back out next weekend

At the weekend, I did my first event in the new Impact Sports Boots. They are very aesthetically pleasing and I went for blue as it matched my cross country colours! Unlike the old boots, these ones come in three different sizes. This makes such a difference as it meant that they fitted extremely snugly on the legs of my little eventer and didn’t slip at all. My horse finished the cross country with cool legs as the boots allow legs to be in constant contact with fresh air. They offered great protection and I had real piece of mind that they would keep his legs safe from any knocks. Pleasingly the new colours also really stood out in the photos and make the boots look both smart and striking. I would definitely recommend these boots to anyone who wants to look after their horse’s legs on the cross country course, out hacking, or even schooling.

I exercise my retrained racehorse, Stilo Blue Native, in the blue Impact Sports boots daily; whether hacking, schooling or lunging, I can trust this product to provide ultimate protection during work. As a show horse, it is vital that Blue remains clean in his limb and I believe these boots provide splint bone protection and support during more intense work and when schooling on harder ground. The boots are easy to put on and are so stylish – I love the bright blue colour – but aside from being attractive, they are practical and hard wearing. The velcro is so strong and the boots don’t move out of place yet it seems almost impossible to over-tighten them and they just mould to the horse’s leg. I always work my horses in boots that are breathable and have always worried about legs over-heating and causing unnecessary damage. When removing these boots after exercise my horse’s legs are dry and cool to the touch, proving that they are breathable like advertised. Furthermore, when enjoying fitness work in the fields, I don’t have to worry about my boots becoming muddy, damaged and stained in winter conditions as the boots hose off clean and look brand new, and the velcro has remained super sticky whether in sand schools or wet fields. In the past, I have always deliberated about what size boots to purchase and if I needed to buy a larger size for hind limbs. These boots are buyer friendly and sizes are stated. As I make the shift from showing to showjumping with my horse in the next few seasons, I will be sure to continue to use these boots during home schooling sessions, lessons and when out competing.
