Picking cantercurrent training transport gear is tricky when you need to protect legs on the road but also want useful training tools at home. Do you invest in a full set of shipping boots for trailering, save with a lightly used set, or add a lunging surcingle for groundwork instead? The answer depends on your horse's size, how often you haul, and whether you need protection or control.
Quick Take
- For the lowest listed price on shipping boots: The HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4 - Cob Size at USD 45.00 offers a complete set of four in Neoprene with a Cob sizing note and a description of used once for transport.
- For new-in-package peace of mind in the same style: The HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4 at USD 59.95 is listed as New in package with no defects noted in the description.
- For tall, structured protection: The NEW EXSELLE INTREPID HORSE SHIPPING BOOTS BLACK at USD 60.00 lists thick foam inner, 600 denier nylon outside, fleece lined, and specific lengths of 26'' front and 32'' back.
- For groundwork instead of hauling: The Horze Lunging Surcingle Nylon - Black - Horse,Other Training Equipment at USD 50.24 is the only non-boot option, focused on lunging rather than leg coverage during transport.

Product Notes
HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4 - Cob Size
This set stands out because it is the only one that specifies Cob Size alongside Peacot Blue and a Set Of 4. The attributes list Neoprene material and Tendon/Fetlock Boots type, and the description notes used once for transport. At USD 45.00 it carries the lowest listed price in this group. A good reason to choose it is the combination of Cob sizing and a complete four-boot set at that price point if your horse fits that size. A limitation is the Used condition, which may matter if you prefer new packaging and unused closure strength.
HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4
This is the new-condition counterpart to the Cob Size set, also in Peacot Blue, Set Of 4, Neoprene, and Tendon/Fetlock Boots type. The description emphasizes new in package with no issues found and directs buyers to review pictures for any defects. At USD 59.95 it sits near the top of the price range. Choose it if you want the same Horze boot design but with new condition assurance. Its limitation is the absence of a specific size note in the title, so fit confirmation relies on what is shown beyond the title.
NEW EXSELLE INTREPID HORSE SHIPPING BOOTS BLACK
The Exselle set is the only Black option and the only one listing detailed construction: thick foam inner, 3 hoop & loop closure, 600 denier nylon outside, fleece lined, and kick plates for heel protection. Front length is listed as 26'' and back as 32'', which helps gauge coverage. At USD 60.00 it is the highest listed price. Pick this if you want the tallest stated dimensions and a denier-rated outer with fleece lining. A limitation is that material is not listed as Neoprene like the Horze boots, so feel and flexibility will differ.
Horze Lunging Surcingle Nylon - Black - Horse,Other Training Equipment
Unlike the three shipping boot sets, this Horze item is a Nylon surcingle for lunging, identified as Other Training Equipment with mpn 4900-BL-F. The description highlights Horze's background and focuses on quality, design, comfort, safety, and sustainability themes. At USD 50.24 it falls between the lowest and highest boot prices. Choose it if your priority is groundwork control rather than trailering leg protection. Its limitation is that it does not provide shipping boot coverage, so it cannot substitute for leg protection during transport.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
For hauling a Cob-sized horse and keeping costs down: The HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4 - Cob Size at USD 45.00 gives you a full set of four with an explicit size callout and Neoprene construction, with the trade-off of Used condition.
For buyers who want new-in-package assurance in the same Horze style: The HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4 at USD 59.95 offers that new condition note while keeping the same color, count, and material.
For maximum stated coverage and a rugged outer: The NEW EXSELLE INTREPID HORSE SHIPPING BOOTS BLACK at USD 60.00 is the pick, thanks to its 600 denier nylon outside, fleece lining, kick plates, and listed 26'' front / 32'' back lengths.
For training on the ground rather than protection on the road: The Horze Lunging Surcingle Nylon - Black - Horse,Other Training Equipment at USD 50.24 is the appropriate tool, as it is built for lunging work and not for shipping.
