KD-128 Boot Jack

When your boots are caked with mud and you're balancing on one leg, a boot jack earns its place by the door. The KD-128 gives your heel a steady base and gives you strap handles to pull against, so you can step out of riding boots, chore boots or wet boots without fighting them by hand.

It is small enough to keep in the trailer or the show-day kit, and it works at the barn entry, in the tack room, by the wash rack or in the mudroom. The lightweight build moves easily from one spot to the next, and at 12.25 by 5 by 3.625 inches it takes up little room.

Highlights

• Strap handles for a firm pull without fighting your boots
• Lightweight build that moves from barn to trailer
• Useful at the barn entry, tack room, wash rack and mudroom
• Makes boot removal easier after riding, chores or wet weather
• Pairs with grooming storage and tack-room organization

Why a boot jack beats pulling boots by hand

Pulling a boot off by hand is slow, it pinches the heel and it leaves you hopping on one foot. A boot jack holds the heel steady so your leg can do the work. That matters most after a muddy chore day, when the boot is stuck and the mud is drying on your jeans.

Keep one where boots come off most often. At the barn entry, a jack keeps the mess near the door and out of the aisle. In the trailer it makes a quick change at a show easier, and by the wash rack it handles boots that come in wet from a rinse. Riders, ranch hands and anyone with muddy yard boots will get regular use from it.

It suits the rider with a busy barn, the family with a mudroom, and the trailer owner who wants the small things sorted before show day. It's also a practical gift for the person who always has boots piled by the door.

How to use it

Set the jack on flat ground and stand on its back end with your free foot. Slide the heel of the other boot into the notch and lift your foot out while the jack holds the heel. Keep one hand on a wall or a post for balance, and don't rush the last few inches.

Knock the loose mud off before you set the jack back in the tack room. Keep it where you'll use it, by the barn door or in the trailer's storage, so it's close when the boots come off. After wet weather or a dusty ride, wipe off the grit so it doesn't build up on the jack.

Good to know

• Keep one where boots come off most often: the barn entry, tack room, wash rack, trailer, mudroom or garage.
• Tuck one into the trailer or show-day kit so boots come off without a balancing act at the trailer step.
• Pair it with the KD-127 Tote All and the KD-164 Grooming Stool to keep a tack room or trailer setup organized.
• It also pairs with grooming storage, tack-room organization and travel gear for a setup that stays tidy.
• Set it out of the way of the door swing so it doesn't become a trip hazard on a busy morning.
