Find Reliable Protection for Your Horse with Float Boots from EQ Saddlery

When it comes to keeping your horse safe and comfortable, float boots are an essential piece of gear. Designed to provide full leg protection during travel, float boots, also known as shipping boots or travel boots, offer peace of mind for horse owners transporting their equine companions. At EQ Saddlery, we stock a premium range of float boots, so that you can ensure your horse arrives at its destination safe, sound, happy, and ready to perform.

Why Use Float Boots?

Float boots are thick, padded, and often lined with sheepskin or soft materials to cushion your horse’s legs. Their primary purpose is to protect against knocks, scrapes, and injuries that can happen during loading, unloading, or transit. Beyond transport, float boots are versatile enough to double as stable boots or paddock boots, providing additional support and protection for your horse’s legs when they’re resting or recovering. They’re also a popular choice for competitions and clinics, offering both functionality and a polished, professional look.
