Leading the next generation of hoof protection
We are redefining comfort and performance for barefoot horses.
Fit, function and freedom are at the heart of everything we do.
Born from experience. Driven by innovation.
Pioneer Hoof Protection was founded by Tom Broadbridge, to overcome the problems that existed with hoof boot sizing, fitting and functionality.
Tom utilised his 20+ years of hands-on hoof care experience and in-depth knowledge of the hoof anatomy, to design a boot that redefines the future of hoof protection.
