FAQs

Are these boots suitable for competition?

While durable for schooling and hacking, their primary design is for protection during general riding and turnout. For specific disciplines, always check competition rules regarding leg protection.

How often should I wash the boots?

Wash as needed when they appear dirty or lose their effectiveness. Over-washing can degrade materials over time. Follow care instructions precisely.

Can these boots be used in wet conditions?

Yes, they are designed for general use, including hacking. The breathable fabric helps manage moisture, but it's always advisable to dry them properly after use in wet conditions.

What is the 'New Strike Guard Design'?

This refers to an updated impact protection feature integrated into the boot to offer enhanced defense against knocks and scrapes.

Do the reflective straps provide full visibility on their own?

The reflective straps enhance visibility but are not a substitute for dedicated fluorescent hi-viz protective gear. For maximum safety, always wear appropriate hi-viz equipment in addition to these boots.

Can I use these on a pony?

The boots are designed to fit both front and hind legs and are generally adaptable. Ensure a secure and comfortable fit specific to the pony's leg size.

What does 'highly durable' mean in this context?

It indicates that the materials and construction are designed to withstand repeated use and minor abrasions encountered during regular riding activities without significant wear or damage.

Troubleshooting

Boots not staying securely fastened

Ensure all hook and loop fasteners are clean and free of debris. Re-fasten straps securely, ensuring they overlap sufficiently.

Reduced reflective performance after washing

Verify that the boots were not exposed to high heat during drying. Air drying away from heat sources is crucial. Avoid harsh detergents that could degrade reflective material.

Horse appears uncomfortable

Check for proper fit – boots should be snug but not tight. Ensure there are no creases or folds that could cause rubbing. Clean the inside of the boots if dirt is suspected.
