The rider's boots
The Boots page features tall riding boots, ankle boots, winter boots, and western boots, from Ariat, Horze, QHP, Horka, Harry's Horse, Black Fox, or Sergio Grasso, in adult and child sizes.
Each boot corresponds to a discipline, a season, and a leg shape.
High boots: dressage, jumping and laces
The dressing boot, with a rigid shaft, keeps the leg straight and neat along the horse. The jumping boot, more flexible at the ankle, supports the balanced position and low heels of the jumping rider. The boot with laces on the instep, like the Horze laced or the Ariat Palisade Field, offers additional adjustment for high instep feet. Models like the QHP Sasha, the Horze Verona or the Harry's Horse Lancelot cover these uses in leather or synthetic materials.
Boots and paddock boots
Jodhpur boots and paddock boots with laces, like the Ariat Heritage Paddock, rise above the ankle and are comfortable to wear in the stable. Paired with mini-chaps, they replace the high boot for daily work. Children’s models, like the Horze Portland with crystals, add a touch of flair that appeals to young riders.
Western boots: roper, H2O and Hybrid
Western boots Ariat come in several silhouettes. The roper, like the Heritage Roper, has a lower heel and a rounded toe, more comfortable for walking and for ranch riding. The H2O models, like the Anthem H2O or the Wexford H2O, add a waterproof membrane for mud and rain. The Hybrid line combines western styles with a more urban look, and the R Toe, round, J Toe or square toes adjust comfort at the front of the foot.
Winter and outdoor boots
For care in the field and lessons in winter, insulated boots, like the Horka Thermo or Highlander, and QHP Daan outdoor boots keep feet warm and dry. They should be chosen with a bit of room for thick socks, ensuring the heel doesn’t lift with each step. Boot elastics, like the Sergio Grasso Flexy, keep the bottom of the trousers inside the boot.

- Mini-chaps, to be worn with boots.

Frequently asked questions
High boots or boots with mini-chaps: what to choose?
Boots, like the Ariat Heritage Paddock, paired with mini-chaps, are comfortable to wear in the stable and replace high boots for daily work. The high boot, being one piece, maintains a neater appearance on the horse.
Which Ariat boot for ranch riding?
The roper, like the Ariat Heritage Roper, has a lower heel and a rounded toe, making it more comfortable for walking and ranch riding. The H2O models, like the Anthem H2O or the Wexford H2O, come with a waterproof membrane for mud and rain.
How to keep feet warm in the stable during winter?
Insulated boots, like the Horka Thermo or Highlander, or outdoor boots QHP Daan keep feet warm and dry during field care. Choose them with a bit of room for thick socks, without the heel lifting with each step.
What boots for a child starting riding?
Jodhpur boots with mini-chaps, or synthetic boots, adapt better than leather boots for quickly growing feet. Children’s models, like the Horze Portland with crystals, add a fun touch that young riders appreciate.
What are boot elastics for?
They keep the bottom of the trousers inside the boot so they don’t ride up in the saddle, like the Sergio Grasso Flexy. They also prevent fabric folds that rub against the leg.
