{"product_id":"weaver-gum-rubber-bell-boots","title":"Weaver Gum Rubber Bell Boots","description":"\u003cp\u003eGive your horse simple, dependable heel protection with \u003cstrong\u003eWeaver Gum Rubber Bell Boots\u003c\/strong\u003e. Molded from quality natural gum rubber, these pull-on bell boots slip over the hoof and settle around the pastern with no straps, buckles or hook and loop to fasten, fray or fail. The soft, pliable gum rubber flexes with every stride while the ribbed bell shields the heel bulbs, coronet band and shoe heels from overreach strikes by the hind feet. Use them for turnout, lunging, trail riding, arena work and trailering, or on any horse that forges, overreaches or pulls front shoes. Because there is no closure to catch on fencing or collect mud, pull-on overreach boots are a favorite for pasture wear and for horses that fuss with strap-style boots. Sold per pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features of These Pull-On Overreach Boots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural gum rubber:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft, stretchy and resilient, so the boot flexes with the hoof and springs back to shape after every ride.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlip-on design:\u003c\/strong\u003e No straps or fasteners to close, lose or replace, and nothing to snag in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRibbed bell shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molded ribs add strength and help the boot keep its shape over the heel bulbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtects heels and shoes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cushions the coronet band, heel bulbs and shoe heels against the overreach strikes that cause cuts, bruising and thrown shoes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gum rubber does not absorb sweat or odor; rinse clean and let air dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the boot inside out, pick up the hoof and stretch the opening over the toe, then roll it down over the heel and flip it right side out so the bell sits just above the coronet band and touches the ground at the heel. Warm the boots in your hands or in a bucket of warm water first to make them easier to stretch, especially in cold weather. The fit should be snug enough that the boot does not spin, with room to slide a finger between the rubber and the pastern. Check for rubs after the first few rides and rinse the boots after muddy work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose Your Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose \u003cstrong\u003eMedium\u003c\/strong\u003e for large ponies and small to average riding horses, or \u003cstrong\u003eLarge\u003c\/strong\u003e for average to big-footed horses. The boot should cover the heel bulbs without dragging under the heel; if it rides up onto the pastern it is too small. Pull-on gum rubber boots stretch during fitting, so choose the size that is snug on the pastern rather than sizing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weaver Equine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pull-on gum rubber bell boots (overreach boots)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural gum rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gum (translucent amber)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium, Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e None, pull-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold:\u003c\/strong\u003e Per pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStop by Garoppo’s Stone \u0026amp; Garden Center and Feed \u0026amp; Pet Supply to pick up a pair, or schedule local delivery within our service area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weaver","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":68002381725988,"sku":"51770","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":68002456600868,"sku":"51851","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/5322\/9860\/files\/weaver-gum-rubber-bell-boots-medium_453d74ce-299d-4fbd-941b-964a8f8fd11d.png?v=1793712767","url":"https:\/\/garoppos.com\/products\/weaver-gum-rubber-bell-boots","provider":"Garoppo's Stone \u0026 Garden Center and Feed \u0026 Pet Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
