Stop Interference Strikes Before They Sideline Your Horse A popped splint bone can put your horse out of work for weeks — and it usually happens during lateral work, tight turns, or high-speed runs when legs knock together. The Weaver Leather Splint Boots deliver the protection you need where it matters most: over the vulnerable inner cannon bone. Built with heavy-duty suede strike pads layered over flexible neoprene, these boots absorb impact while moving naturally with your horse's stride. Sized for the average performance horse (15.0–15.3 hands, approx. 900–1,100 lbs), the Medium fit provides consistent coverage and secure hook-and-loop closures that stay put from warm-up to cool-down. Whether you're schooling spins, running barrels, or working through jump grids, these boots offer the durability and fit that Weaver Leather is known for — from our barn to yours. Why Riders Choose Weaver Splint Boots Heavy-duty suede strike plates — Layered over neoprene to create a shock-absorbing barrier that neutralizes leg-to-leg contact during lateral maneuvers and tight turns. Flexible neoprene construction — Conforms to the cannon bone and fetlock for a custom-like fit that prevents rubbing and keeps dirt out during hard work. Secure hook-and-loop closures — Adjustable straps provide the right amount of overlap (designed for 11-inch fetlock circumference) without restricting circulation or shifting mid-ride. Standard Medium sizing — Industry-standard fit for horses 15.0–15.3 hands — the go-to size for Quarter Horses and similar performance breeds. Proven across disciplines — Trusted by reining, cutting, barrel racing, and jumping riders who need reliable leg protection during high-action work. Best For Performance riders and trainers looking for durable inner-leg protection to prevent splint bone injuries during lateral work, speed events, and high-impact training. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do I know if the Medium size will fit my horse? The Medium size is the industry standard for horses standing 15.0 to 15.3 hands with a fetlock circumference of approximately 11 inches. If your horse is an average-sized Quarter Horse or similar breed in that height range, these boots will provide the necessary overlap for a secure, protective fit. Q: Can I use these boots for trail riding or turnout? Absolutely. While the Weaver Leather Splint Boots are built for performance disciplines like reining and barrel racing, their durability makes them excellent for protecting your horse's legs from brush, rocks, or uneven terrain on the trail. Some riders also use them during turnout if their horse is prone to interference. Q: What's the best way to clean these boots after a muddy ride? Hose them off with cool water and allow them to air dry out of direct sunlight. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting them in the dryer, as that can break down the neoprene and suede strike pads over time. Regular rinsing after each ride will keep them fresh and extend their lifespan.
