Choosing the right size boot is essential to ensure your horse gets the proper support, protection, and comfort. The 5 Star Equine Patriot Sport Boot is designed for all-around performance, offering equal-length fetlock support to reduce tendon strain without pulling in one direction like traditional sling boots. Read our 5 Star Sport Boot sizing guide below to learn how to choose the right size boot for your horse.
Step-by-Step Sport Boot Sizing Guide
To find the correct size for your horse:
- Use a flexible measuring tape.
- Measure the circumference of the leg halfway between the knee and fetlock on the front leg (or hock and fetlock on the hind leg).
- Compare your measurement to the size chart below:
| Size | Circumference Measurement | Boot Height |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 7″ and under | 9″ |
| Medium | 8″ and under | 10″ |
| Large | 9″ and under | 11″ |
Rear boots are 2″ taller.
Tip: If your measurement is on the edge between two sizes, consider your horse’s conformation and whether they tend to stock up or need more compression.
Care Instructions:
- Machine washable – Lay flat to dry.
- Do NOT put in the dryer.
- For best results, use 5 Star Saddle Pad & Tack Cleaner.
