The SMB-3™ is a hybrid between the two best selling protective boots, the original SMB II® and the new standard, the SMB Elite™. The exterior is constructed with Professional’s Choice signature limestone-based neoprene. Together with an UltraShock™ lining, the SMB-3™ safeguards the cannon bone, tendons and soft tissue, while absorbing energy from hoof impact. The slightly longer suspensory strap stretches upon each impact of the hoof, allowing full ankle movement, helping to eliminate hyperextension of the fetlock. The SMB-3™ is cut back at the lower front to allow for proper fit when used with any Professional’s Choice bell boot. It also has lycra binding with a slight stretch that creates a more snug fit, both along the top and bottom of the boot, helping to keep dirt out. Once again, the Professional's Choice motto is achieved, "The more comfortable the horse, the better the performance.” 30-Day money-back guarantee/one-year warranty. Sold in pairs and four packs.

Not a SMB 3 Boot, Color Swatch Only
The Sports Medicine Boot 3 (SMB® 3) 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® 3. The circumference measurement of the boot in around the fetlock 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® 3 medium on the front and SMB® 3 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.
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® 3 medium for both the front and rear.
Small = 10" Circumference Medium = 12" Circumference Large = 13" Circumference
