If you've spent any time around the warm-up arena at a show jumping competition, chances are you've seen plenty of horses wearing Veredus boots. Trusted by professional riders around the world, Veredus has built a reputation for combining innovative technology with exceptional protection, comfort and durability.
But with so many different styles available, it can be difficult to know which Veredus boots are right for your horse.
Whether you're competing every weekend or simply want the best protection during schooling at home, this guide will help you understand the Veredus range.
Why are horse boots so important?
Your horse's legs are one of their most valuable assets.
During training and competition, horses can accidentally strike themselves, particularly when jumping, working at speed or performing lateral movements. A quality pair of boots helps protect tendons, fetlocks and ligaments from knocks while allowing your horse to move freely and comfortably.
Good boots should provide:
- Excellent impact protection
- Lightweight construction
- Breathability to reduce heat build-up
- A secure fit that won't slip during work
- Long-lasting durability
This is exactly what Veredus has become known for.
What makes Veredus different?
Veredus is an Italian brand specialising in high-performance horse protection. Their boots are designed using advanced materials including carbon fibre, shock-absorbing gel technology and ventilation systems that help keep your horse's legs cooler during exercise.
Rather than simply producing another brushing boot, Veredus has spent years developing products that are lightweight, protective and anatomically shaped to move naturally with your horse.
It's one of the reasons you'll regularly see Veredus boots on horses competing at the highest levels of show jumping and eventing.
Choosing the right Veredus boot
Carbon Gel Vento
If you're looking for premium protection, the Carbon Gel Vento range is one of Veredus' flagship products.
These boots combine carbon fibre for strength, a shock-absorbing gel layer and an advanced ventilation system that helps reduce heat around the tendons during exercise.
They're ideal for:
- Show jumping
- Eventing
- Riders wanting maximum protection
- Horses working regularly over fences
Olympus Boots
Olympus boots offer excellent protection while remaining lightweight and comfortable.
They're a fantastic option for riders who want a high-quality everyday competition or training boot without stepping into the premium Carbon Gel range.
Perfect for:
- Regular schooling
- Show jumping
- Everyday riding
- Riders wanting excellent value and performance
Save the Sheep Collection
Love the look of sheepskin but not the maintenance?
Veredus' Save the Sheep range uses a synthetic techno-sheepskin lining that delivers the comfort and appearance of natural wool while being easier to wash and quicker to dry.
It's become one of the most popular choices for riders wanting both performance and style.
Dressage Boots
Veredus also offers specialist boots designed for flatwork and dressage.
These boots provide excellent protection while allowing unrestricted movement, making them ideal for horses working on the flat or competing in dressage.
Do expensive horse boots make a difference?
It's a question we're asked regularly.
While every horse doesn't need top-level competition boots, higher-quality boots generally offer:
- Better impact protection
- Improved ventilation
- Longer lifespan
- Better fit
- More consistent performance
If your horse is jumping regularly or competing, investing in quality protection is often money well spent.
