Skid Boot Savvy

Skid boots are protective boots put on the legs of a horse to protect the back of the fetlock joint during hard or active use such as barrel racing, reining, etc. They are designed to prevent a horse from feeling a burning sensation when the horse drives its legs into the ground, like during tight, hard, turns or during a deep or hard stop.

Shopping for skid boots for your horse can sometimes be confusing because of the different terms used to mean the same thing. For example, skid boots are referred to by some people as rundown boots, and still others call a boot either a "skid" boot or a "rundown" boot depending on whether its worn on the front or rear legs.
