Davis Splint Boots and Bell Boots are designed to absorb hoof concussion and shock. The Davis patented Shock Absorption Tubes (U.S. patent #5,307,521) provide exceptional protection while allowing the Davis boot to easily contour the horses leg and the weighted Davis bell boot adds comfort to the horse. The stay-put interior cushion stays snug and resists slipping out of place. The Davis boots gently cradle tendons and ligaments.
