Description
The patented latch design offers durability and protection for your horse and peace of mind for you during turnout.
Redesigned from the ground up, this one-piece polymer horse bell boot offers unmatched durability and protection for your horse. GatorBootz has a patented latch designed to be opened by humans but not equines. By eliminating typical Velcro closures, the lifespan of bellboots is extended, and the hassles are reduced.
Sizing and Fit
Gatorbootz bell boots make contact with the hoof, not the soft tissue, making sizing simple. It’s determined by hoof size so if you know your horse’s shoe size, you’ll know just what size Gatorbootz to order. Currently available in Medium (shoe size 1) and Large (shoe size 2+). Size exchanges are easy if needed.
Longevity
The average pair of Gatorbootz horse bell boots lasts 10 months. Some horses even achieve up to 36 months of turnout protection. GatorBootz also come with a 6-month full product replacement guarantee.
The Latching System
The GatorBootz’s unique latching system makes it easy to release the boot with just two fingers. Simply hold the top of the boot in your left hand, buckle facing you, and pull down and out with your right hand, disengaging the zip tongue at a 45-degree angle.
The left and right boots are symmetrical, which means you don’t have to worry about left and right boots. To ensure your latch remains closed, slide the latch to the last setting.
Opening the Boot
New designs mean learning a new skill. This boot’s latching system is unique. Hold the top of the boot (black portion) in your left hand, buckle facing you, and pull down and out with your right hand (also on the black portion), the zip tongue needs to pull down at a 45-degree angle. Once you do this it will become easy and second nature.
Tips and tricks: if you find the boot challenging to open the first time, spray a little WD-40 inside the latch. You will not need to repeat this after the first operation. Also, hose off your boot if the latch becomes encumbered with mud to lubricate the latch.
The Emergency Release
If your bell boot latch ever appears to be stuck, use the emergency release trick, simply place a hoof pick under the buckle, raise it up a bit, and then the strap will slide out. Note, not intended for daily use, only if you need to quickly release the latch.
Safety
The latch is designed to break at the rivets behind the buckle should your horse manage to get the boot hung on something.
Operational Use
Designed for longevity. The bell portion is made of the highest strength polymers (not found in any other bell boot). Designed primarily as a turn out boot. The patented neck and latch design allows this boot to fit without rubs. GatorBootz is the most durable bell boot on the market.
During normal turnout and riding the latch should stay securely closed. If you find the latch opens occasionally, your boot may be too small, please contact us for a larger size.
Extreme Conditions
The latch may release in very aggressive riding situations such as cross-country competitions or trail riding through mud. Securing the boot with a product like duct tape will ensure your boots will remain on in the toughest conditions. Simply tape all the way around the boot, covering the latch. Boots generally do not release in daily situations like turn out.
