FAQs

What is the main purpose of these travel boots?

The Premier Equine Travel-Tech Xtra Travel Boots are designed to protect your horse's legs from scrapes, knocks, and abrasions during transport.

How many boots are included in a set?

Each set includes four boots: two for the front legs and two for the hind legs.

Are these boots suitable for turnout?

These boots are specifically designed for travel and transport protection. They are not intended for turnout in the field.

How do I ensure the boots fit correctly?

Ensure the boots are anatomically aligned with the horse's knee and hock, and fasten the six touch tape straps securely but comfortably, allowing a finger's width between the strap and the leg.

What material are the boots made from?

The outer shell is constructed from a durable and breathable 1200D ripstop polyester, with a soft, moisture-wicking lining.

Can these boots be machine washed?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the boots in cool water with a mild detergent and allow them to air dry naturally.

What does 'traditional cut' mean in relation to these boots?

The 'traditional cut' refers to the design that extends higher up the leg to cover the knee and hock joints, providing protection to these vulnerable areas during travel.

Troubleshooting

Boots seem to slip during travel.

Ensure all touch tape straps are securely fastened and the fit is snug around the lower leg and fetlock. Check that the correct front/hind boots are being used and that they are aligned properly with the knee and hock.

Horse shows signs of rubbing or irritation.

Verify the boots are not too tight. Ensure the moisture-wicking lining is clean and dry. Wash the boots according to care instructions and ensure they are completely dry before use.

Touch tape straps lose grip.

Clean the touch tape surfaces by brushing away any debris. If the grip is still poor, the straps may be worn and may need replacement, though this is rare with proper care.

Difficulty applying the boots evenly.

Take your time to align the boots correctly. Start by fastening the bottom strap, then work upwards, ensuring even pressure and a smooth contour around the leg. Have someone assist if needed.
