Premier Equine Eventing Boots | Emmers Equestrian
Premier Equine is a British brand with roots in professional racing, known for its patented air-cooled leg protection and vents that let air flow through the boot as the horse gallops, keeping the legs cooler than a sealed boot would over a demanding cross-country round. The eventing range covers front and hind boots in two tiers (Air-Cooled Original and the more durable Carbon Tech), plus a spring-style boot for extra protection at the back of the hoof.
Front and hind boots are sold and sized separately here, so it's worth buying both rather than assuming one pair covers your horse head to tail, they're shaped differently for a reason, since the forces and impact points differ between front and hind legs at speed. The airflow design also matters more than it might seem: a boot that traps water and heat gets heavier and less comfortable exactly when your horse is working hardest.
Tips for Choosing
- Buy front and hind boots as separate purchases rather than assuming a single size or style covers both, since they're built differently for each pair of legs.
- Choose Carbon Tech over the original air-cooled line if you want the more durable, all-microfibre-leather build, particularly for frequent competition use rather than occasional riding.
- Add a spring-style boot specifically for extra protection low down at the back of the hoof, since the leg boots alone don't cover that specific impact zone.
- Measure your horse's leg properly against the size guide rather than guessing from a previous brand's sizing, since fit affects both protection and how the airflow venting actually performs.
- Check and clean boots after each use, especially after wet or muddy cross-country work, so grit doesn't sit against the leg under the strike guard.
Frequently asked questions
Why are front and hind eventing boots sold separately?
Because they're shaped differently to match the different forces and impact points on front versus hind legs at speed, so one style doesn't properly cover both.
What's the difference between the Air-Cooled Original and Carbon Tech lines?
Carbon Tech uses a more durable, all-microfibre-leather construction, while the Original line combines ballistic nylon with microfibre leather, both use the same airflow cooling design, but Carbon Tech is the more hard-wearing option.
Do I need a separate boot for the back of the hoof?
Yes, a spring-style boot specifically protects that lower impact zone, which the main leg boots aren't designed to cover.
How does the air-cooling actually help during a cross-country round?
It lets air circulate through the boot as the horse gallops, helping keep the leg cooler and preventing the boot from becoming waterlogged and heavy during a long, demanding round.
Are these boots suitable for anything beyond eventing?
They're specifically built for the impact and speed of cross-country work, so while they can be used more generally, they're designed with that demanding use in mind rather than everyday schooling.
How do I know what size to order?
Measure your horse's leg against Premier Equine's own size guide, since getting this right affects both the fit and how well the boot's protection and airflow actually work.
