Quick take
Choosing horse training & transport gear gets tricky when three choices are shipping boots and the fourth is a lunging system. The fastest way to narrow the field is to decide whether you are preparing for transport or adding a training aid, then compare condition, named construction details, and included equipment. The prices span $90.90 from lowest to highest, but the task should lead.
- The used HORZE shipping boots are the transport choice described as having been used once.
- The new HORZE shipping boots stay in the transport category with a new-in-package condition.
- The EXSELLE shipping boots add named foam, closure, nylon, and heel-protection details.
- The Hunters Saddlery system changes the task from shipping to lunging and excludes the surcingle, lunge line, and bridle.

Decision matrix
- Cob Size wording: Choose the HORZE Peacot Blue shipping boots with Cob Size in the title when that specific size phrase matches the transport need.
- New condition: Choose the new HORZE shipping boots when condition is the deciding factor and a shipping-boot format is what you need.
- Named boot construction: Choose EXSELLE when thick foam, hoop-and-loop closures, 600 denier nylon, and fleece-lined kick plates are the details you want to weigh.
- Training rather than transport: Choose the Hunters Saddlery system when the title's lunging training aid format fits the task, while accounting for the excluded components.
Product notes
HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4 - Cob Size
The Cob Size wording makes this the clearest match for a shopper who needs that listed size for transport. Its description says it was used once for transport, while the attributes identify blue neoprene tendon/fetlock boots. That prior-use condition is the central limitation: shoppers who want new condition should choose one of the new shipping-boot choices instead. At $45, it is the lowest-priced item in the comparison, so the decision comes down to whether the named Cob Size and used condition suit the job. The title's color phrase also makes this choice easy to distinguish from the black EXSELLE boots.
HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4
New in package is the main reason to choose this HORZE set. The attributes identify blue neoprene tendon/fetlock boots, while the title keeps the focus on shipping boots rather than a training aid. Its concrete limitation is comparative: the $59.95 price is $14.95 above the used-once HORZE Cob Size set. That makes the difference a choice about condition and price, not a different equipment category. This is a straightforward match for shoppers who want the new HORZE version. The main trade-off is paying more than the used-once HORZE choice for the same broad shipping-boot format.
NEW EXSELLE INTREPID HORSE SHIPPING BOOTS BLACK
EXSELLE brings several named construction details to the shipping-boot comparison: a thick foam inner, three hoop-and-loop closures, 600 denier nylon outside, and fleece-lined kick plates for heel protection. Those specifics give shoppers concrete features to prioritize when they do not want to choose by color alone. The limitation is the black finish, which differs from the blue HORZE titles. EXSELLE is described as new and as a set of four, and the listed price is $60. Choose EXSELLE when the foam, closures, nylon, and heel-protection wording fit the job; choose another boot when black is not the preferred color.
Hunters Saddlery Ultimate Horse Lunging Training Aid System Lunge Equipment
Unlike the three shipping-boot choices, the Hunters Saddlery system is a lunging training aid. It is described with a polyester rope, durable fittings, illustrated instructions, and an online video tutorial, so it suits a shopper looking for a training-system format rather than transport boots. The decisive limitation is what the purchase excludes: the surcingle, lunge line, and bridle are not included. At $135.90, it is also the highest-priced item, $90.90 above the lowest-priced item. Choose it when the included instructional material and lunging-system format are useful; choose a shipping-boot choice when transport is the actual task.
Final recommendation by use case
- For transport with prior-use history: Choose HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4 - Cob Size.
- For a new HORZE transport set: Choose HORZE - Horse Shipping Boots - Color: Peacot Blue - Set Of 4.
- For the EXSELLE shipping-boot choice: Choose NEW EXSELLE INTREPID HORSE SHIPPING BOOTS BLACK.
- For lunging equipment: Choose Hunters Saddlery Ultimate Horse Lunging Training Aid System Lunge Equipment.
Separate transport from training before comparing price. The three boot choices serve the shipping-boot use case, while the Hunters Saddlery title is centered on lunging. That simple split keeps unlike equipment from being compared on price alone.
