A protective covering for an equine body part includes an impact-resistant outer shell and at least one inner breathable cushioning layer for contacting a portion of the equine body part, comprising a breathable material having a porosity allowing passage of moisture or vapor but not particulate debris therethrough. The inner breathable cushioning layer includes first and second porous fabric layers spaced apart by an intervening pile layer of fibers, and further may include one non-porous cushioning layer attached coextensively to one of the first and second porous fabric layers. At least one shock dissipating intermediate layer may be interposed between at least a portion of the outer shell and the inner breathable cushioning layer, which may be fabricated of a suitable shock dissipating gel.
