Product Description
Boyd Martin Cross Country Boots
Boyd Martin Cross Country Boots by Majyk Equipe are the brainchild of Boyd Martin, professional 3-day eventer and Majyk Equipe, a California based protective horse boot manufacturing company. These are the newly redesigned generation 2 model. Several improvements have been made to the new version based on 2 years of rider feedback. The white version are the new Color Elite, generation 3 model. Gen 3 Majyk boots are available in many other colors, too! Check them out on the Majyk Color Elite page.
Boyd XC Boot Features:
- Firstly, they are lightweight & breathable
- Won’t retain water (water absorbing boots get heavy, slide down)
- Won’t retain plant life
- Soft liner won’t rub – liner not made of neoprene!
- Thus, does NOT retain water
- Flexible strike zones to protect tendon and cannon bone
- Impact tested by independent lab
- Also available in Large & Medium sizes, black or white
- Color Majyk boots also available
Improvements to Generation II Model:
- 30% more impact protection via four-way flexion strike plate – larger area, flexes with movement but hardens with impact – best of both worlds! This improvement answers the “plate or no plate” question
- 5 layers of protection all the way around + flexible plates on tendons (fronts) and front of cannon (hind)
- More durable, especially around the bottom of the boots
- Now with double stitching!!!
- Improved ripstop outer material allows more flexibility / better movement with the horse
- Less rubbing
- New antifungal foam interior that won’t suck up water, won’t slip, breathes and is soft – even for those sensitive types
- Even LESS rubbing
- Will hold up longer
The Boyd Martin Cross Country boots feature integrated strike zones to protect the cannon bone and tendons. The boots shell uses top-rated German BSF polyurethane popularly known as “ripstop TPU’. The inside of the boot features a soft liner that repels dirt and water – essential for the cross country course.
Continual Innovation Since Original Test At Rolex, 2013
Boyd Martin wasn’t about to put his name on just any boot. The product designers over at Majyk Equipe worked right alongside Boyd as he trained, explained the pros and cons of existing eventing boots and came up with prototypes. It wasn’t until Boyd was 100% happy with the design (several revisions later) did he give the okay to have his signature placed on the boot. Boyd Martin used the original Majyk Equipe XC boots for the first time on his horse Trading Aces at the 2013 Rolex Four Star Event at the Kentucky Horse Park. After a couple years of using the originals, Boyd Martin, Majyk Equipe and several other contributors came together to re-design the boot. During the summer of 2015, the brand new, Generation 2 Boyd Martin Cross Country Boots were introduced.

Outperformed Competitors In Impact Testing
Boyd Martin Cross Country Boots have gone through successful impact testing by independent 3rd party testing lab Biokinetics of Canada. The testing measured the amount of blunt force trauma able to pass through different eventing boot models. The result of this testing showed that Majyk Equipe outperformed other brands by as much as 40%.

These are fantastic boots, they don’t slip or rub and kept my horses’ legs protected and cool. Didn’t hold water at all. Very pleased with them! Medium fitted my 16.1 and 16.2hh TBs well.

I am an event rider who whips-in on my retired event horse and wanted to find him some xc boots to hunt in. Durning his eventing career had tried many popular brands but was always disappointed in fit or durability. I have hunted several times in them and have been very happy. True to claim they do not slip or move even after four hours of hunting in muddy conditions and through lots of water and underbrush. They are very easy to clean and dry fast. They fit and do not rub my sensitive skinned thoroughbred which was the biggest plus! I highly recommend these boots!
