FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They are made of neoprene, which is water-resistant, but they are designed to be breathable and will not stay dry if the horse is standing in deep water.
Can I leave these on for 24 hours?
It is recommended to check them daily and remove them to clean the leg, as moisture or debris trapped inside can cause skin irritation over long periods.
Do I need to buy different sizes for front and back?
Over-reach boots are generally worn on the front hooves only to prevent the hind hoof from catching the heel.
How do I know which size to choose?
Sizes range from Pony, Cob, Full, and Extra Full; choose based on the hoof circumference and the size of your horse.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, they are washable; use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and ensure they are air-dried away from direct heat.
Do they come in a set of four?
These boots are sold in pairs, typically intended for the front two hooves.
Troubleshooting
Boots keep spinning on the hoof
Ensure the fastenings are pulled tight enough and that the boot is positioned correctly over the bulb of the heel.
Boots are rubbing the horse's skin
Check that no grit or dirt is trapped between the neoprene and the horse's skin; clean the interior thoroughly and ensure a proper fit.
Fastenings are losing grip
Use a small brush to remove hair and debris from the touch-close strips, which often restores their original grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the boots, open both touch-close fastenings and wrap the neoprene around the heel area, ensuring the boot sits just above the hoof bulb. Secure the fastenings firmly but avoid over-tightening, which could restrict circulation. For care, rinse the boots with water after use to remove sweat or mud. If they become heavily soiled, machine wash or hand wash with a mild detergent and allow to air dry completely. Regularly inspect the fastenings for wear and tear to ensure they maintain their adhesive strength.
