About Tough®1 by JT International, Dist.
From winter to spring and summer to fall, Tough®1 hasthe best in horse products to cover every horse’s needs from performance horses to back yard 'friends' . Our boots, blankets, sheets and extensive line of horse products offer the durability you need at a price that fits just right. Tough1 offers a large variety of colors and well as styles, design and protection. If you have a performance or barrel horse-- getting the right boots is vital to your horse's well being and performance:


Tough®1-- More Than Just Ordinary "Splint Boots"!
The splint boot has come a long way from being just a “brushing boot” to protect the splint bone. Now, we have the sports medicine boot, which not only protects the horse’s leg from impact (either from his own hoof, a barrel, or arena debris, for example), but these boots also help to prevent over-stretching by supporting important tendons and ligaments that support the whole body. Multiple colors, patterns and designs have helped evolve the basic splint boot to a more functional and fun sport boot with better protection for the horse’s front and hind legs during activities that require fast movement and strenuous effort.

For The Penny-Pincher:Tough1 Economy Sport Boots

These boots may save you money but they are not short on protection!You can protect your horse’s legs with these affordable neoprene sport boots designed to conform to the leg to provide support. Constructed with darts to help with the fit and a suspensory sling strap, these boots will not restrict movement or inhibit your horse’s performance.

For The Time-Saver: Tough1 Combo Boots

The ultimate leg protection in one application. These combo boots can save you time and sanity, providing both the sport boot and bell boot in one lightweight, easy to put on product. Designed with perforated neoprene, this boot allows heat to escape the leg while keeping dirt and debris out. The Tough1 Combo Boots have attached bell boots that feature a cutback front that eliminates the bulk.

For The Everyday Rider: Tough1 Extreme Vented Sport Boots


What’s more fun than color-coding your rides with different color sport boots for each day? The Tough1 Extreme Vented Sport Boot comes in a variety of colors. The suspensory sling strap provides flexible hock and tendon support without restricting movement or inhibiting your horse’s performance—providing 360-degree support for maximum protection. The perforated neoprene allows heat to escape while keeping dirt and debris out. Available for front and rear legs.

For The Latest & Greatest Design: Tough1 Max Sport Boot with Cooltext Lining

Ready for the MAX? The Tough1 Max Sport Boot is constructed with Tough1’s “Cooltex lining material that wicks away moisture, keeping legs cool and your horse comfortable. The perforated neoprene base and durable contour construction virtually molds to the leg, with an innovative cross cradle strap that offers a more balanced suspensory support system than traditional sport boots designs. Available for front and rear legs.

Don't Forget To Protect The Hoof!

When looking for all around protection, don’t forget about protecting the hoof. While a horse’s hoof is naturally protected by the hoof wall, there is a small opening towards the back of the foot where the sensitive heel bulb is exposed. So, when a horse overreaches his hind foot into his front, that strike can seriously injure the sensitive heel bulb. This is when using bell boots (also known as overreach boots) can help, whether your horse is a competitive sport horse, barrel racer or even just on turnout. Bell Boots provide 360-degree protection, covering the horse’s foot from the coronary band down to below the heel. This little bit of added protection can mean the difference between a lameness injury and just a slight bump.

Bell boot styles range from a simple pull-over gum style to a thicker rubber style with Quick Grip closures to the neoprene no-turn style bell boot.

Yes! Our boot sizes range from mini horses to draft horses. Look for Tough1 Sport Boot and bell boot products at your favorite local dealer or online.

What's the difference between a splint boot and a sports medicine boot?

Why are bell boots important — and what styles are available?

Per Tough®1: while a horse's hoof is naturally protected by the hoof wall, there's a small opening towards the back of the foot where the sensitive heel bulb is exposed. When a horse overreaches his hind foot into his front, that strike can seriously injure the heel bulb.

Bell boots provide 360-degree protection, covering the foot from coronary band to below the heel. Bell boot styles available:

  • Simple pull-over gum style
  • Thicker rubber style with Quick Grip closures
  • Neoprene no-turn style bell boot
What sizes are available — minis to drafts?

Per JT International: boot sizes range from mini horses to draft horses. Look for Tough1 Sport Boot and bell boot products at your favorite local dealer or online.

Why does this matter for barrel racers in particular?

Per Tough®1 / JT International: "Few things are more exciting than watching performance and barrel racing horses. Horse owners understand that EVERYTHING is riding on your horse's legs."

For barrel-racing horses specifically, the suspensory sling strap support + perforated-neoprene heat dissipation + bell-boot heel protection combination addresses the high-impact, high-tension demands of barrel patterns. Don't leave legs and tendons unprotected.
