:: Product Description
The Professional's Choice Sports Medicine Boot II (SMB-II®) is the best-selling leg care product in the world. Since its introduction, the SMB-II® has provided protection to countless performance horses in every imaginable event -- polo, jumping, reining, barrel racing, endurance, working cow horse and many others. For a lot of horses, this boot has meant the differece between an extended career and periodic or permanent lay-ups.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• Made of closed-cell nylon-lined limestone-based neoprene -- provides comfort and shock protection
• Will not crack or crumble -- maintains its original shape after prolonged use
• Radius-cut straps -- easier to grip and apply, and gives a finished appearance
• Hook & loop fasteners -- facilitate application and adjustment
• UltraShock lining -- provides an additional 360-degrees of protection and shock absorption
• Sewn-on suspensory strap -- helps support suspensory ligaments and is easily replaceable
• Product warranty -- 30-day money back guarantee / Six month limited warranty
Even though some boots may imitate the basic design of the SMB-II®, they simply cannot provide the degree of safety, comfort, or effectiveness that has aided so many horses. The Professional's Choice Sports Medicine Boot is the original in all these areas because it provides three-fold protection, achieved through the individual pieces of the boot working together.
EXTERIOR LEG PROTECTION
Like a splint boot, the SMB-II® provides exterior leg protection against injuries caused by hits from hooves, debris, and other horses. This protection comes from the neoprene exterior working together with the inner lining of the boot. On the outside of the boot, the high-density, closed-cell limestone-based neoprene enables the SMB-II® to absorb and dissipate high levels of energy from hits. Between the neoprene and the horse's leg is a layer of UltraShock™ lining. Together, the neoprene and UltraShock™ material provide 360-degrees of exterior leg protection.
ENERGY ABSORPTION
The energy absorption capabilities of the SMB-II® is due to the sewn-in UltraShock™ lining, along with the neoprene exterior. These materials are designed to absorb energy generated as the hoof impacts the ground, and to stretch and return to their original shape. The ability to stretch allows the boot to absorb energy when it is extended or fully loaded.
Testing at Oklahoma State University has proven that the
Professional's Choice SMB-II® absorbs an average of 26%
of energy from hoof concussion -- four times greater
traditional wraps.
SUSPENSORY SUPPORT
Suspensory support comes from the uniquely designed lower suspensory strap. This is one of the features that makes the SMB-II® the very best preventive maintenance or rehabilitation tool. To support the fetlock, the strap stretches and cradles the extended leg while still giving it the freedom to perform its function. It prevents the fetlock from overextending and causing injury to the ligaments. Designed to fit at a 45-degree angle, the strap doubles as a spring. During use, the boot, fetlock strap and the hook straps stretch to conform with the movement of the horse's leg. This stretching action can be repeated tens of thousands of times without losing the SMB-II's® integrity.
With all these benefits, it is easy to see why the SMB-II® is the world's best-selling equine leg care product. At Professional's Choice, we believe the more comfortable the horse, the better the performance. With products like the Sports Medicine Boot II®, we strive at continuing the tradition of helping horses perform at their peak with a high degree of comfort.

: SMB II Sizing Chart
Please read the section below this chart for detailed information on selecting the proper SMB® II boot for your horse.
The Sports Medicine Boot II (SMB® II) is designed for use on the horse's front or hind legs. It is important to choose the correct size for your horse to get the optimum benefits from the SMB® II. In the above chart are circumference and height measurements. The circumference measurement of the boot is more critical than the height because the boot must fit around the horse's leg and overlap 1/2" to 1.5" to be effective. When sizing, the height of the horse and the coarseness of the bone should also be taken into account, but these should not be the only determining factors.
As a general rule, hroses will use one size larger on the hind legs than the front ones. For instance, many mature horses wear SMB® II 100's (medium) on the front and SMB® II 200's (large) on the hind legs. However, in instances where there is no pronounced size difference in the fetlocks, the horse can wear the same size on the front and hind legs.
(I would like to add a note about this statement... all of my horses use the same size on both the front and rear so you may want to measure your horse before you assume you need a different size.
To choose the correct size, refer to the above chart. If you are still unsure which size to get, you should measure the circumference of your horse's front and rear fetlocks at the widest point (see picture at left). After doing so, choose the boot size that is the next bigger size than your measurement.
As an example, if your horse's fetlock measures 10.75" in the front and 11.5" in the rear, you should choose a pair of SMB® II 100's (medium) for both the front and rear.
