In the answers here the essential is already in place. Supplement: are also used for protection during jumping and also (often on the pasture) so that horses do not take off the iron. Turned around you can use them to protect the wrists – can be helpful if horses suffer from narcolepsy or for various reasons do not lie down themselves and then bend in front of tiredness.

When the horse enters the bales, they protect the bales first. This alone, however, is not enough, the cause must be sought, because no horse enters the bales “just like that”.

If then the question whether the hoofing suits (even beaten horses are more “taub” on the hoof itself), whether the hoove itself is in balance at all, whether the horse has such serious conformational deficiencies, whether it is hanging on the forehand (pronounces this dwells a moment too long on the ground, often in the case of overcrowded horses), and some other causes.

So bells are nice and good, but the original should be fixed.

When the horse tends to enter the ball itself.

Zb can thus be the case permanently by a gear fault or a foot misalignment. But then you should also ask yourself whether you want to continue riding the horse.

But usually it concerns young horses in training that do not always know exactly what foot is, and they grow out again with time.

In the case of ganghorses, i.e. Icelandic, the bells are also often used as a precaution in training as the horses are to enter as far as possible. Here, too, the bells serve the prevention of injury.

For the general forest and meadow rider on a healthy, fully-trained horse, bells are usually quite useless and provide more for shy places instead of preventing injuries.

When the horse enters the bales / crown margins in such a way. For example, if you enter the hanger.

If you or/and your horse have such training shortcomings that the horse enters the feet, this can be useful in rare cases. Under certain circumstances also for jumping in higher classes, hunting and the like. You and I certainly don’t. For a wide-sporting ride or an A jumping, such things should not be necessary. That would be like putting on a helmet to cross the zebra strip: simply oversized.

Yes, of course. But what if your horse doesn’t need it?
