All XLR8 Equine Boots are sold in small, medium, and large sizes. Measure your horse from ground to withers, and follow the guidelines below. If the horse is right between sizes, determine if he is fine or heavy boned. This will help you know which size should fit him best. In the event you choose an incorrect size, it's no problem. Send them back in new condition and we will send you the right size. It's that easy.

- Place zipper pull up and secure with hook-and-loop closure at the bottom.
- Readjust tension on top band as necessary.
