Kavalkade SafeHeel Heel Protector

The clever alternative to a belly guard!

During coat changes or clipping season, many horses become especially sensitive to the friction of riding boots against their sides. Riders often turn to belly guards, but these come with drawbacks: they can trap heat, require careful fitting, cause pressure or rub marks, and are often bulky and very visible.

The solution: SafeHeel
Instead of adding extra gear onto your horse, SafeHeel protects directly at the source – the rider’s boot. Simply wrap the cover around the heel of your boot and secure it with the wide Velcro fastening. The it is lined with soft faux fur, making it gentle on sensitive or clipped horses and helping prevent skin irritation on the belly area.

Why riders love SafeHeel:

• No extra equipment on the horse

• No risk of heat build-up

• Prevents rubbing and pressure marks

• Fast and easy to attach

• Spurs cannot be fitted while in use

• Discreet and barely noticeable when riding

Size: One size fits all
