Fit notes before you order
AERO and PRO use stronger, shorter elastic than the Original, and run a touch smaller. Check the size guide before choosing.
HALO Jump runs large. Most full-size horses wear a Medium; Large suits chunky legs.
AERO and PRO are not an exact match for the Original Bell Boots. Pair them with CORE Bell Boots.
