FAQs

What size should I choose for my horse?

Sizing generally depends on the horse's breed and leg conformation. Refer to the product's specific sizing chart or consult with your equestrian supplier for recommendations. Common sizes include Cob and Full.

Can these boots be used on the front legs?

No, ARMA Carbon Over Reach Boots are specifically designed for use on the hind legs to protect against overreaching.

How often should I check the boots?

It is recommended to check the fastenings and overall condition of the boots before and after each use to ensure they are secure and undamaged.

Are these boots suitable for turnout?

While designed for protection, it's generally recommended to use turnout boots that are specifically made for 24/7 wear if the horse is left unsupervised in the field for extended periods, as overreach boots can sometimes be dislodged or damaged by aggressive play.

What is the 'triple impact support system'?

This refers to a design feature incorporating multiple layers or components that work together to absorb and dissipate impact forces, providing enhanced protection to the vulnerable leg areas.

How do I clean the carbon outer shell?

The carbon outer shell can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Boots slipping or rotating

Ensure the double lock touch close fastenings are securely tightened. Check that the legs are clean and dry before application. Verify the boots are the correct size for the horse.

Horse seems uncomfortable

Loosen fastenings slightly, ensuring they are still secure. Check for any rubbing points or irritation. Ensure the boots are not too tight and allow for natural movement.

Boots do not seem to offer adequate protection

Confirm the boots are fitted correctly on the hind legs and cover the heel bulb and pastern area. Ensure the correct size has been selected. Overreach injuries can vary in severity, and boots provide a layer of protection, not a guarantee against all impact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively protects the delicate heel bulb and pastern from overreaching injuries.
  • Incorporates multiple protective layers for enhanced impact absorption.
  • Designed for a secure fit with double-lock fastenings.
  • Comfortable for the horse due to neoprene lining and padding.
  • Helps prevent common equestrian leg injuries.

Cons

  • Fit can be crucial; incorrect sizing may reduce effectiveness.
  • Requires regular checking of fastenings to ensure security.
  • May not be suitable for all disciplines or extreme impact scenarios.
  • Carbon element could potentially be scratched or damaged if subjected to severe abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the horse's legs are clean and dry before application.
  2. Position the boot around the pastern and heel bulb area.
  3. Secure the double lock touch close fastenings, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The boot should not restrict movement.

Compatibility:

These boots are designed for general equestrian use and are compatible with most horse breeds and disciplines. They are intended to be worn on the hind legs. Ensure they are the correct size for your horse.

Care:

  • Clean after each use with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris.
  • Hand wash with cool water and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
  • Check fastenings regularly for wear and tear. Do not use if damaged.
