Mountain Horse Paddock Boots

Yes, Mountain Horse describes the Wild River Zip Paddock boot as a waterproof all-round paddock boot with zip. It is made from supple, oiled full-grain leather and has a shock-absorbing ShockX Advanced insole, a cushioning PU midsole and non-slip zones on the sole.

The Wild River is also available as a lace-up paddock boot. At Ahrens Reitsport you will find the Wild River as a Zip Paddock boot in brown and black, as well as the lace version in brown. For very cold days Mountain Horse also offers lined, waterproof winter paddock boots.

The Protective Jodhpur XTR Lite is a riding paddock boot with a protective toe cap made from lightweight aluminium instead of steel. According to Mountain Horse it meets the EN ISO 20345:2022 safety footwear standard in class SB E and is intended to feel lighter on the foot than traditional steel-toe footwear.

The upper material is oiled full-grain leather, and inside a lightweight, moisture-wicking mesh keeps the foot comfortable. The sole combines a cushioning PU core with a grippy rubber tread. Like a classic jodhpur boot, it closes with an elastic insert and is available in black and brown.

Yes, the Veganza Zip Paddock boot is made from vegan synthetic leather. Inside it has a moisture-wicking synthetic lining, a robust YKK metal zip at the front and a metal shank in the foot for stabilisation, which Mountain Horse calls MST.

There is also a multi-layer, lightweight insole, a pressure-relieving midsole and a rubber outsole with a grippy tread. The manufacturer offers it in black and brown in sizes 36 to 42. At Ahrens Reitsport you will find the Veganza Zip Paddock boot in both colours.

Wipe off stable dirt and mud every day with a damp cloth if possible, because horse urine is acidic and attacks the surface. Stuff wet paddock boots with absorbent paper and let them dry at room temperature, not on the radiator, otherwise the leather can crack.

According to Mountain Horse, you should treat clean, dry leather with a leather care product about once a month. The manufacturer advises against glycerine soap. Synthetic leather such as on the Veganza is cleaned with mild soapy water. Always open the zip fully and keep it free of sand with a brush.
